Aachen Cathedral

Considered the oldest cathedral in northern Europe, the cathedral of Aachen (Aachen, Germany) is a building of great historical significance. Charlemagne had built a large palace complex built within the same octagonal church for private use. For that reason this chapel is called Palatine Chapel, the artistic exponent of political power by Charlemagne reached this cathedral walls have seen the coronation of 30 German kings in the marble throne. UNESCO declared it a world heritage site, for that reason it is very well preserved.

In the heart of Aachen (Aachen), inside the cathedral, is the famous Palatine Chapel (790-805), created at the time of the Holy Roman Empire (Charlemagne). It is funny to see a monument that we have only seen in art books and textbooks. And equally impressive is that it is twice as big as I thought. A small place but very impressive.
