Story · Aachen Town Hall

You're standing at Aachen Town Hall, the most striking building in the old town after the cathedral. It sits between two squares, the Markt and the Katschhof, with the cathedral right across from it. Take a look at the façade facing the Markt. Fifty German kings stand there side by side, a nineteenth-century addition.
