From the early days of Christianity to the present, the history of Saint-Pierre's cathedral spans the ages. Despite the ravages of the Protestant Reformation, Saint-Pierre has preserved precious artistic evidence of its Mediaeval Roman Catholic origins. Saint-Pierre is still the centre of Geneva's religious and civic life today.
