Ein Ort, an dem Geschichte spürbar wird.
Im Herzen des Aachener Doms steht der berühmte Karlsthron – ein bedeutendes Zeugnis europäischer Geschichte. Auf diesem mittelalterlichen Thron wurden zwischen 936 und 1531 insgesamt 30 römisch-deutsche Könige gekrönt.
Umgeben von imposanten Marmorsäulen, kunstvollen Mosaiken und farbenprächtigen Fenstern wirkt dieser Ort besonders eindrucksvoll. Die symmetrische Architektur und das warme Licht verleihen der Aufnahme eine ganz besondere Atmosphäre.
Der Aachener Dom gehört seit 1978 zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe und zählt zu den bedeutendsten historischen Bauwerken Europas.
