Cathédrale Saint-Pierre

Place du Bourg de Four 24, 1204 Geneva

Introduction

One of the most iconic city landmarks in Geneva is the Saint-Pierre Cathedral in the Old Town, with its towering green spire visible from afar. This historic church dates back to the 12th and 13th centuries, with archaeologists discovering artifacts from the 4th century beneath the church, adding to its mystique. The cathedral features Gothic arches, while the white pillars and dome adopt a Romanesque style. Despite its grand and solemn exterior, the interior is dimly lit and plain. Visitors can enter for free and are also allowed to take photos inside. Alongside the Jet d'Eau on Lake Leman, the Saint-Pierre Cathedral is one of the most striking landmarks in Geneva.
