About Cathedral of Saint Pierre
Geneva
Known as the “smallest metropolis” for its cosmopolitan character, Geneva boasts a charming Old Town filled with wine taverns, art galleries, and antique shops. At its heart stands the Cathedral of Saint Pierre, a landmark whose architecture reflects nearly a millennium of history. Construction began in 1160 and continued for almost a century, with major changes occurring during the Reformation in 1535, when it became a Protestant place of worship. Visitors who climb the 157 steps to the top of its towers are rewarded with sweeping 360° views over the city and Lake Geneva. The cathedral also houses Switzerland’s largest collection of Gothic and Romanesque capitals, and its underground archaeological site reveals fascinating remains dating back to antiquity.
