Luogo - Historical building
Maison Tavel
Where
Rue du Puits-Saint-Pierre, 4, Palmi (Reggio Calabria)
Historic building in Geneva, among the most important examples of Medieval architecture in Switzerland. The original, in 1303, was destroyed by fire and later rebuilt by a local noble family, the Tavel, who gave the building the appearance of a fortified castle. The current building has several architectural layers, the most recognizable of which is the facade of the seventeenth century. On the back, it opens a courtyard that serves as access to a cellar of the '300. Inside the Palace is exposed a historical collection that documents the daily life of the city from the Middle Ages to the mid-nineteenth century. Of great interest is the room that contains the map of Geneva with an amplitude of 35 square meters.
