Aachen Cathedral is a Roman
Aachen Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church in Aachen, Germany, that is the seat of the Diocese of Aachen and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is one of the oldest cathedrals in Europe and was built by Emperor Charlemagne, who was buried there in 814. The cathedral has a rich history and a remarkable collection of art and relics. Here are some facts about Aachen Cathedral:
The cathedral consists of several parts that reflect different architectural styles and periods, such as the Carolingian octagon, the Gothic choir hall, the Romanesque westwork, and the Baroque chapels
The cathedral was the coronation site of 31 German kings and 12 queens from 936 to 1531. It was also a place of pilgrimage, especially during the Heiligtumsfahrt (pilgrimage of relics) that takes place every seven years
The cathedral treasury houses one of the most important collections of ecclesiastical art north of the Alps, including the shrine of Charlemagne, the shrine of Mary, the Barbarossa chandelier, and the throne of Charlemagne
The cathedral was damaged by Viking raids, fires, wars, and earthquakes over the centuries, but was always restored and renovated. It survived World War II with relatively minor damage, thanks to the removal and protection of many of its artworks
The cathedral is a symbol of European unity and Christian tradition. It was the first German cultural site to be inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1978. It also received the European Heritage Label in 2014
