Big imposing statues in the middle of a lovely park. Part of the Swiss history...and after that take a pic of all the check and mate lovers.

Good place to visit as part of an historical tour of Geneva. I recommend that you read about Geneva history and the persons represented here in order to understand its significance for Geneva.

If it's raining take cover among the cannons, but as I was not a War buff this was not a very interesting site for me

The sculptures on this wall, located in Parc des Bastions, are very interesting and beautiful, and are definitely worth making a detour to see.

I found this a really intriguing monument, in a lovely setting. It's informative, multi-lingual, and huge without dominating. Definitely worth a look.

Across of the Geneva University the Reformation Wall is an imposing sculpture showing off some of the reasons why Geneva is the way it is.

The reformation wall is in the Parc des Bastions.It is a big park were one can have a small stroll while visiting all the nearby sites.(old city,various museums).You can watch people play chess and in winter you can ice skate.Stop to have a bite at the restaurant situated inside the parc.

So you see 6 statues of the reformers. You can see the same on the internet. there are better things to do in Geneva. Or if you just want a nice calm walk in a park in Geneva, why not, there are 6 statues to see.
