Not London! Köln Rathaus (city hall)

The city hall in Cologne is Germany's oldest. It's on the site of the Roman Praetorium (that's coming in a later post; the Praetorium was pretty big). Different parts of the Rathaus date from between the twelfth and twentieth centuries. Most of my pictures are of the the tower, which dates from the early 15th century, and the loggia (a gallery or corridor at ground level), which dates from the late 16th.
