A hundred-metre wall in the Parc des Bastions, inaugurated in 1909 for the 400th anniversary of John Calvin's birth. Calvin, Farel, Beza and Knox stand at the centre, flanked by reformers of many nations, with Geneva's motto 'Post tenebras lux' carved below. Once called the 'Protestant Rome', the city honours that era above all here.
