Lot description - from the online catalogue*
St.Maria im Kapitol, the largest of the 12 Romanesque churches in Cologne, was built on top of a Roman temple dedicated to the Capitoline Trias. The church was consecrated in 1065 by Archbishop Anno II, and the building that we see today has survived largely intact, with only some minor alterations.
Most realised prices include the Buyer's Premium of 18-25%, but not the HST/GST Tax.
