782 CE

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.
