Wandered by this group doing an African tribal dance fight type thing in Karlplatz.

Impressive, they would take turns in pairs starting off facing each squatting down and it would just take off from there. There were guys playing tribal African grooves on a mixture of string and percussive instruments.

Unusual view of La Seu, Palma with mountain range backdrop. The Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma, more commonly referred to as La Seu, is a Gothic Roman Catholic cathedral located in Palma, Majorca, Spain, built on the site of a pre-existing Arab mosque. It is 121 metres long, 55 metres wide and its nave is 44 metres tall. Designed in the Catalan Gothic style but with Northern European influences, it was begun by King James I of Aragon in 1229 but finished only in 1601. It sits within the old city of Palma atop the former citadel of the Roman city, between the Royal Palace of La Almudaina and the episcopal palace. It also overlooks the Parc de la Mar and the Mediterranean Sea..
.
In 1901, fifty years after a restoration of the Cathedral had started, Antoni Gaudí was invited to take over the project. While some of his ideas were adopted – moving the choir stalls from the middle nave to be closer to the altar, as well as a large canopy – Gaudí abandoned his work in 1914 after an argument with the contractor. The planned changes were essentially cosmetic rather than structural, and the project was cancelled soon after.

Cologne is dominated by the Kölner Dom. It's hard to convey just how big it actually is without actually seeing it in the flesh. It was the tallest structure in the world when it was completed in 1880, until the completion of the Washington Monument.

Because of its enormous twin spires, it also presents the largest façade of any church in the world. The photo here is of the replica of the finial in the front square facing it which sits on top of the spire.
