CATEDRAL DE COLONIA: La iglesia que tardó más de 600 años

Cologne Cathedral: It survived 14 bombings, took 632 years to complete, and houses the relics of the Three Wise Men. In the heart of Germany, just steps from Cologne's main train station, stands one of the longest-running architectural projects in history. Construction of the cathedral began in 1248, was halted for centuries, withstood the bombings of World War II, and was finally consecrated in 1880. All this without losing a single one of its religious functions. This documentary traces the complete history of Cologne Cathedral: the Roman origins of the site, the arrival of the relics of the Three Wise Men in 1164 that transformed the city into a pilgrimage destination, the ambitious Gothic project inspired by Amiens Cathedral, the centuries of interruption, the post-war reconstruction, Gerhard Richter's controversial stained-glass window, and the criteria that led UNESCO to include it on the World Heritage List in 1996. 00:00 Introduction 01:00 Cologne: Location and How to Get There 03:00 From Rome to the Middle Ages 05:25 The Carolingian Cathedral (9th Century) 06:03 The Three Wise Men Arrive in Cologne (1164) 07:00 The Great Gothic Project (1248) 10:50 Centuries of Stagnation 12:04 World War II: 14 Bombs 13:17 Post-War Period and Gerhard Richter's Stained-Glass Window 16:10 The Reliquary of the Three Wise Men 18:18 UNESCO World Heritage Site (1996) 21:14 Conclusion Exploria is a documentary channel about UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
