I met Charlemagne today down in the early 12thC crypt in the Grossmunster in Zurich. The statue is 15thC and very impressive in size. He looks a bit menacing, to be honest #charlemagne #holyromanemperor #grossmunster #zurich
A photograph of a tall, grey cathedral set against a blue sky. The cathedral has two large towers with white domed pillars on one end of the Cathedral. The other end of the cathedral has a tall, red spiked tower.
According to legend, the #Grossmünster cathedral in #Zürich, #Switzerland, was founded by the #HolyRomanEmperor #Charlemagne around 810CE on the graves of three #Christian martyrs that had fled to Zürich. Folklore has it that after they were beheaded, they carried their heads to their resting place.
Did you know….
The Holy Roman Emperor Charles V was one of the most powerful monarchs of the 16th century. He ruled an empire twice the size of Classical Rome - but it was secured through dynastic union rather than conquest.
