You can find the Saint Peter's Cathedral in Geneva's Old Town. Before the visit you may walk around on the cobblestone little streets. Any you might get lost too as I did so many times. Probably I was so much into the view of the streets, the windows of art galleries and little shops there.
The cathedral is over 850 years old and since the 16th century belongs to the Reformed Church.
 |
| The cathedral was built between 1160 - 1252. It was rebuilt several time, the last reconstructions took place in the 18th century. |
 |
| The main building of the cathedral is 64 meters long. It has not much decoration but beautiful huge chandeliers. |
 |
| The beautiful gothic paintings of the Maccabean chapel. |
 |
| The Maccabean chapel was originaly used as a storage, later as a schoolroom. I believe this is the most beautiful part of the cathedral. |
