The Aachen Cathedral, also known as Imperial Cathedral, is a 9th century imposing church where 42 German monarchs have been coronated over the ages, from Otto I in 936 to Ferdinand I in 1531. The original octagonal Carolingian-Romanesque Palatine Chapel on the site was commissioned by Charlemagne, who lies buried here. The bronze 'Wolf Doors' which were cast around 800 AD for the original Palatine Chapel can be seen in the west portal. Subsequently, the Barbarossa chandelier, the cupola, steeple, other chapels, and Gothic choir (Glass Chapel) were added. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its architectural and artistic finesse, which show the influence of both Classic and Byzantine traditions.
