Charles begins construction on his palace chapel …
Years: 782 - 782
Charles begins construction on his palace chapel at Aachen (Aix-la-Chapelle) in 782, designed and supervised by the architect Odo of Metz.
The new chapel, modeled after a centralized Byzantine model, Justinian's octagonal Church of San Vitale in Ravenna, rejects the simple Merovingian church plan in favor of imperial echoes.
