    A must for history and archeology lovers. See how the city of Geneva evolved over the centuries through the layers of the city that was discovered underneath St. Peters Cathedral. Theres also a real burial site & a grand mosaic floor. Also very interesting for kids!

  • Wouter E

    ★★★★★2 years ago

    Amazingly interesting site showing thousands of years of archeological history through many layers of excavation. Cost was 8 chf and included an English audio tour device. Highly recommended.
