What you'll see
The blackened shell and tall spire of a bombed church, kept as a memorial, with a glass lift up the spire to a viewing platform 76 metres high and a small museum about the war underneath.
A brief history
Its spire, once the world's tallest, was used as a landmark by bomber crews in 1943, when firestorms destroyed much of the city; the church was never rebuilt.
