Your Daily English Programme #28 - Germany's Cologne Cathedral (Listening B1-B2) |
Hello, and welcome back to Engramme: Your Daily English Programme, where we are starting #week8 of our Series: English Every Day. Today, we're looking at one of Germany's major tourist attractions: the magnificent Cologne Cathedral. Let's begin!

Think Before You Listen |
Look at the Photo: What do you think is special about this cathedral? Have you seen it from up close?
On August 14, 1880, construction of Cologne Cathedral was completed after more than 600 years. When it was completed, its 157-meter spires made it the world's tallest building. It is still the largest Gothic cathedral in Northern Europe, and certainly, one of Germany's most visited landmarks, attracting an average of 20,000 people a day.
