A bold tribute to Charlemagne's Imperial Capital at the Heart of Western Christendom where Aachen, the westernmost city in Germany on the triple border point of Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands, served as the imperial capital of Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire, the largest political entity in Western Europe since the fall of Rome, where the Aachener Dom, Charlemagne's palace chapel built between 796 and 805 CE and the oldest Gothic structure north of the Alps, was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as one of the founding monuments of Western civilization, where the Carolingian octagonal throne chapel modeled on the Byzantine Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna housed the marble throne of Charlemagne on which 30 Holy Roman Emperors were crowned between 936 and 1531, and where Aachen's Charlemagne Prize awarded annually since 1950 to outstanding contributors to European unity honours the emperor whose vision of a unified Christian Europe laid the conceptual foundations for the modern European Union.
