Tour description

Join us on this historical visit, touring the places that still have some memory of those dark years in which Calvin exercised its power in the city of Geneva. Who were the victims? How was it to live under the Calvin’s reform in the sixteenth and seventeen century? 

We will enter the stories of witch hunting  by understanding the society of those times and the figure of ‘’the witch’’. 

 

How was a witch recognized? Why were they condemned? What were the trials procedures? What torture methods were used to get a confession? and What was the faith for witches? 

Who were the famous witches of Geneva and their faith? 

 

**RECOMMENDED FOR OVER 16 YEARS OLD 

THE TOUR STARTS ON TIME.
