This week, for the first time in its history, Cologne Cathedral will be floodlit with moving images. The official premiere was on Wednesday evening. The light production tells the story of the First World War in moving images and thus reminds observers of the end of the war 100 years ago.
The cathedral is to become a "lighthouse of peace". At the end of 1918, hundreds of thousands of German soldiers from Belgium and France had moved back east over the Hohenzollern Bridge directly next to the cathedral. The illumination can be seen until Sunday (30 September).
Fireworks and flames took over central Valencia on Tuesday (March 19) as locals and thousands of tourists celebrated the end of a four-day festival with the burning of over 380 ornate and colourful monuments made up of giant figures known as ninots, in the "Crema de Fallas" (burning of the fallas).
