What happens when a ruler tries to revive the Roman Empire — one victory, stone and symbol at a time? In this episode of World Heritage Rookies, we explore Aachen Cathedral in Germany: the final resting place of Charlemagne, the first true emperor of the West in the Middle Ages. From hot springs to holy relics, we walk through 1,200 years of history, politics, architecture, and unexpected legends.
