About Reformation Wall

The International Monument to the Reformation, commonly called the Reformation Wall, is a monument in Geneva, Switzerland. It honours a number of the fundamental individuals, activities, and documents of the Protestant Reformation with the aid of depicting them in statues and bas-reliefs. The Wall is inside the grounds of the University of Geneva, which turned into founded via John Calvin, and was constructed to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Calvin's start and the 350th anniversary of the university's established order.
It is built into the old city partitions of Geneva, and the monument's area there's designed to symbolize the fortifications', and therefore the town of Geneva's, fundamental significance to the Reformation. Inaugurated in 1909, it become the end result of a contest launched to transform that a part of the park. The contest involved seventy one proposals from round the world, however become received by 4 Swiss architects: Charles Dubois, Alphonse Laverriere, Eugene Monod, and Jean Taillens.
The sculptures have been then created by means of two French sculptors: Paul Landowski and Henri Bouchard. During the Reformation, Geneva was the centre of Calvinism, and its records and history since the 16th century has been intently related to that of Protestantism. Due to the close connections to that theology, the people most prominently depicted on the Wall have been Calvinists; although, key figures in other theologies also are blanketed.
