Later, as the cradle of the Carolingian dynasty, Metz was to become an artistic and cultural Mecca in Europe. The reputation of its schools and craftsmen, the numerous buildings, both places of worship and secular constructions, of which the Cathedral is the undisputed jewel in the crown, bear witness to the artistic and religious preponderance of Metz in our old continent.
