Hof – A historic square with Roman heritage in the Old Town
Nestled between historic facades, the courtyard opens up into a tranquil space that brings Aachen’s long history to life. A Roman bath and temple complex once stood here, and traces of it are still visible today. Replicas of ancient columns and the Roman portico serve as reminders of the area’s early significance, while the modern Aachen Window creates an intriguing contrast. As you walk through, you’ll experience the unique blend of archaeological artifacts, the lively atmosphere of the Old Town, and the small, hidden nooks that make this triangular square so special.
