2 The water jet in Geneva

Built in 1891, the water jet in Geneva is one of the city's greatest tourist attractions. This icon encapsulates the ambition and vitality which have made the city famous - a city which now focuses on the environment and the future.

4 Saint-Pierre de Genève Cathedral

This cathedral, dedicated to Saint Peter and an iconic symbol of Geneva (which it overlooks from the hill of Veille-Ville) also symbolises the influence of Protestant Rome.<br/>A cathedral and religious community has been on the site of Saint-Pierre since the 4th century AD. Up until the 11th century, just a single building stood on the site. However, in the 12th century the first prince-bishop of Geneva, Arducius de Faucigny, began the construction of the cathedral we can see today. The work took about a century - from 1150 to 1250.
