About Tour Charlemagne

Historic Architecture, Towers, Architecture, Interesting Places, Destroyed Objects, Other Towers

La tour Charlemagne est un vestige d'une ancienne basilique dédiée à saint Martin de Tours et située à Tours, rue des Halles, dans le centre historique de la ville. Elle est classée Monument historique depuis le 13 septembre 1958.

Son nom viendrait du tombeau de Luitgarde d'Alémanie, quatrième épouse de Charlemagne, qui décéda le 4 juin 800 lors du séjour de l'empereur à Tours. La tradition rapporte que l'empereur la fit enterrer sous ou à proximité de l'édifice, mais les avis sont très partagés quant à l'emplacement exact du tombeau, jamais formellement identifié.
