 |
| Speyer, located in the Rhineland-Palatinate, is one of Germany's oldest cities and home to Speyer Cathedral. |
 |
| Speyer was settled by Romans and refounded by Franks. |
 |
| Work on Speyer Cathedral started in 1030. It is the largest still-standing Romanesque church. |
 |
| Eight Holy Roman Emperors were buried here from the 1000s to 1300s. |
 |
| Technically some were only Kings of Germany because they weren't crowned Holy Roman Emperor by the Pope. |
 |
| Their tombs are not very ornate. |
 |
| Speyer Cathedral also has some spooky reliquaries. |
