Travel Tips Sightseeing in Cologne Over 2000 years ago the Romans settled what鈥檚 today Cologne and dubbed the city a Roman colony, "Colonia", in 50 ACE (the German name has stuck since then as K枚ln). Out of these times came a large number of artifacts which one can witness under the open sky or un- der the roof of the R枚misch-Germanisches Museum (Roman-Germanic Museum). For those wishing to experience that history all the way up to the present, they should seek it out at the K枚lnische Stadtmuseum (Cologne City Museum), Cologne鈥檚 old weapons depository. Best "ancient" sites: 1. Cologne Cathedral. The Dom is actually Germany鈥檚 largest cathedral. Its construction began in 1248, and was finished in 1880.
