4/5
This cathedral is the famous church of Calvin of the reformation. Most of it is very Spartan with all decorations, icons, and statues having been removed. However there is one chapel that has retained all of the original decor in all its glory. It's quite an eye opener.

    St. Peter's Basilica was built on the site of the 4th century Roman temple and has been renovated several times, compatible with different architectural styles. St. Peter's Basilica is so important because Calvin, the founder of Protestant thought, promoted his religious ideas here and in the Calvin lecture hall next to it, which is a landmark of the Reformation. You can also climb the tower north of the church, with a sweeping view of Lake Lemon and the city of Geneva.

    This is the center of the Christian world, the huge and magnificent building, immediately brought a sense of shock. When entering, the worship, the singing of the saints, the sacred feeling of the soul. The paintings and sculptures inside are treasures, lingering, breathtaking!
