International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum

When we think of International Geneva, the first image that comes to mind is often the United Nations and the many international organizations headquartered in the city. While these institutions are undeniably central to Geneva’s global influence today, they represent only one facet of its international identity. Geneva has been a crossroads of diplomacy, culture, and power for centuries—long before the creation of the League of Nations or the UN.

Place des Nations

Since the Middle Ages, Geneva has maintained a reputation as a center of knowledge, trade, and refuge for thinkers, aristocrats, and political figures. In the 18th century, it became a sought-after destination for European elites, who were drawn to its serene lakeside landscapes and peaceful atmosphere. Many of them acquired vast estates along the shores of Lake Geneva, building grand residences surrounded by beautiful gardens. Over time, these private lands were transformed into public parks, each carrying its own history, secrets, and fascinating connections to Geneva’s past.
