Large bath excavation





Once I had seen enough I ran back into town to see the cathedral before it closed. I think it closed at 17:00. As I said the town is very cute. The cathedral is fairly austere on the inside. But there is a nice collection of very detailed altarpieces which were pretty impressive. You can also walk by the main altar which is quite colorful.

Xanten Cathedral



































From the cathedral is a very short walk to the main square which is surrounded by restaurants. I decided to stop here and have dinner.

Overall I think Xanten was worth the visit. It was nice to see the reconstructed buildings to get a better idea what it was like during those times. They are currently building some homes which will help set the scene. But most of the park is open green space. The town itself is quite charming.
