Unique features include its stunning illumination at night and the way it captures both locals' hearts and tourists’ imaginations with every spray.
St. Pierre Cathedral is steeped in history, dating back to the 12th century when it was first constructed; it's where John Calvin preached during the Protestant Reformation. This landmark holds great significance for both religious pilgrims and architecture enthusiasts alike due to its remarkable blend of Romanesque and Gothic styles that reflect centuries of evolution. Climbing up to its towers offers an unparalleled panoramic view over Lake Geneva—a truly unforgettable experience!
