Munster is the main cathedral in Bonn, majestic and picturesque. And although it is currently under reconstruction, walking around is a pleasure. It is impossible to get inside now because of the large-scale restoration, but they promise that it will end in 2020 and the building, which combines the Romanesque and Gothic styles, renewed and refreshed, will again please the eye of visitors.
The cathedral was erected on the site where the Roman legionaries Cassius and Florence suffered for not oppressing Christians. Sculptor Iskander Yediler made a very peculiar monument in marble, dedicated to their feat. The monument is right there by the cathedral walls. The place is quiet, special. The Bonners love to come here. By the cathedral walls there is a picturesque bronze fountain of Martin. Don't forget to take a picture.
