Cathedral ceiling, Aachen

The ceiling of Charlemagne's cathedral at Aachen (Aix-la-Chapelle) has interesting byzantine-like mosaics of blue and gold. They say that Charlemagne built the chapel that forms the center of the cathedral in 800, but to be frank, I think he hired somebody for the artwork.
