Description
The Pieta at the Pietakapelle (Pieta Chapel) inside St. Gereon's Basilica in Cologne, Germany. The sculpture, based on Michelangelo's Pieta in Rome, was created by Anton Josef Reiss from Dusseldorf, in 1897.
St. Gereon's Basilica (Basilika Sankt Gereon) is a Roman Catholic church in Cologne, Germany, dedicated to Saint Gereon, and designated a minor basilica on June 25, 1920. The first mention of a church at the site, dedicated to St. Gereon, appears in 612. However, the building of the choir gallery, apse, and transepts occurred later, beginning under Archbishop Arnold II von Wied in 1151 and ending in 1227. It is one of twelve great churches in Cologne that were built in the Romanesque style.
