Any structure that speaks about historical facts and figures are always interesting. Aachen Cathedral is no exception. The Gothic architecture is too evident in the structure. Tall minarets, high domes with stained glass paintings and large doors welcoming you... with quiet interiors. The Dom Cathedral of Aachen was built by the great Emperor Charliemagne and his body is buried here.. There are many more religious leaders and Kings are also buried here. In that sense this is almost like a holy place with so many historically famous and those who have been associated with Infant Jesus, - the infant jesus cloth was sbelieved to have been brought by Emperor Charlie... Its said that the Loin cloth of Jesus was also brought by him It is an important pilgrimage stop. Its indeed an architectural marvel embedded with historical facts that makes it extremely interested.

The Aachen Cathedral Treasury should pretty much a visit to Aachen Cathedral with an extra payment for entrance. It’s definitely worth the entrance fee to see all the treasures of the cathedral, especially the golden bust of Charlemange, all the Charlemagne reliquaries and dozens of other saint reliquaries, and the Cross of Lothar. There’s also some fantastic works of art by various goldsmiths, sculptures and the likes. Definitely a must see in Aachen.

Been to a lot of churches and monasteries across Europe and this one is well worth a look. Despite the external renovations inside is immaculate and very inspired. The astronomical clock is outstanding and the structure itself very imposing. My only criticism was the beggars at the door....!!
