St. Castor, Romanesque basilica in Koblenz, Germany
The Basilica of St. Castor stands at the meeting point of the Rhine and Moselle rivers, featuring two western towers and Gothic vaulted ceilings.
Built between 817 and 836 under Archbishop Hetto of Trier, the church witnessed the signing of the Treaty of Verdun in 843, dividing Charlemagne's empire.
The basilica contains the shrine of Rizza, daughter of Emperor Louis, and displays architectural elements from Romanesque to Gothic periods through its evolution.
Regular Catholic services take place in this UNESCO World Heritage site, which opens daily for visitors to explore its medieval architecture and religious artifacts.
A fountain erected in 1812 in front of the church bears an inscription documenting the Napoleon wars impact on Koblenz.
