Kaiserpfalz franconofurd

The Kaiserpfalz franconofurd reveals itself through the exposed stone foundations tucked into the lower levels of the modern city. These ruins mark the spot where the Carolingian dynasty built a royal palace in the late eighth century. Charlemagne held a synod here in seven ninety-four, the first time the name Frankfurt appeared in written records. Archaeologists unearthed these walls during reconstruction work in the nineteen fifties, uncovering a layout of stone halls and timber buildings that defined this early royal residence.
