The archaeological site of Saint-Pierre Cathedral is internationally famous among archaeologists. The excavations begun in 1976 by the Cantonal archaeological service under the Chapelle des Macchabées marked the beginning of a vast programme of research in and around the cathedral.
The excavations provided many new data on the birth of Geneva and its urban development over the centuries.
