Unique testimony of medieval architecture in Switzerland. Destroyed by fire in 1334, the Tavels, a family of Geneva nobles, rebuilt it, giving the house its character of an urban palace. After passing through the hands of several influential families over the centuries, the City of Geneva acquired the house in 1963 and undertook an incredible restoration.
This small museum, on its 6 floors, illustrates the urban development of the city, as well as various aspects of the daily life of the former inhabitants of Geneva.
Inside there is the largest model of Switzerland (approx. 30 m2): LE RELIEF MAGNIN. A spectacular reconstruction of Geneva before the demolition of its fortifications in 1850. - Place du Molard - The Molard Tower (1591) with the Halles building (1690) are a must during your visit to Geneva.

- Cathedrale de Saint-Pierre - The protestant cathedral of Saint-Pierre de Genève has been the main protestant church of Geneva since 1535. Before that, it was the cathedral church of the bishop of Geneva for a thousand years (from the end of the fourth century). It was last rebuilt between the 11th and 15th centuries, with a portal dating from the 18th century. This cathedral is placed under the invocation of St. Peter the Apostle and was originally named “Saint-Pierre-ès-liens” (in reference to the Roman basilica).
In July 2009, Saint-Pierre Cathedral of Geneva was included in the list of honor “of European heritage” because of its important historical-cultural value for European history.
