The story of Geneva's Old Town
St Pierre Cathedral was built mainly in the 12th and 13th centuries. In the 16th century Geneva became the centre of the Protestant Reformation, and John Calvin preached here; his chair is still inside.
Around it, the cobbled Old Town has Geneva's oldest house, Maison Tavel, and the lively Place du Bourg-de-Four. Below the old walls, the Reformation Wall in Parc des Bastions honours the movement's leaders.
