Allí sobre las tumbas (y supuesto lugar de asesinato) de unos mártires cristianos, se edificó un pequeño lugar de culto que llegó a ser la iglesia principal de Renania del Norte Westfalia. Ella es la “Bonner Münster” o “Bonn Minster”, también conocida como “Catedral de San Martín” y mientras su arquitectura mezcla elementos de estilo románico y gótico, su mobiliario (según leí) es en su mayoría del barroco.
Cual buena testigo de la historia esta iglesia ha presenciado coronaciones, exhumaciones, consagraciones, saqueos y, como gran parte de la Alemania urbana, bombardeos.
Desde 2017 (y, en teoría, hasta 2021) está en remodelación por lo que fotografiar su icónica fachada es, actualmente, imposible. Por eso te la presento de perfil, desde donde estorban menos las planchas que separan las zonas peatonales de las de obras.

@Marichams I translated to English and i’m finding it difficult to comprehend the beautiful post. But my bullets were Romanesque,Gothic and Baroque Architecture. I’m an Architect and while in school we did histories of Architecture right from Egyptian Architecture to Post Modern architecture. So am very keen on knowing what style of Architecture is that building(church ) @Chiazodo

Hi @Austinelewex , Here I will quickly fix what google translate did, so you can understand it better:
“There on top of the tombs (and supposed place of murder) of some Christian martyrs, a small place of worship was built and it later became the main church of North Rhine Westphalia. That is the “Bonner Münster” or “Bonn Minster”, also known as “St. Martin’s Cathedral” and while its architecture mixes elements of Romanesque and Gothic style, its furniture (as I read) is mostly baroque.
As a good witness of history this church has seen coronations, exhumations, consecrations, looting and, like much of urban Germany, bombing.
From 2017 (and, in theory, until 2021) it is being remodelled, so photographing its iconic facade is currently impossible. That is why I show it to you from a profile view, from where the the view is less disturbed by the wood plates that separate the pedestrian zones from the construction area.”

@Marichams I wanna ask, your picture is so clear. What kind of camera did you use to take this photo.

You should give this translation tool a try, if you’re not familiar with it yet, @Marichams : https://www.deepl.com/translator
It’s a bit unorthodox to promote it on a Google platform, but the quality of the output is really amazing!

Hahahahaha, you made me laugh with the part of “unorthodox” in your comment, because it is indeed curious. I did not know about it, so I appreciate your tip quite a lot @JanVanHaver !

Answering your question @Austinelewex , this specific photo was taken with the camera of a cellphone, a Samsung S8, and I fixed (mostly the colours and contrast) with an app called Snapseed.
