NEUVE PLACE
Place de Neuve or Place Neuve? For "real" Genevans, it's Place Neuve, the official name being Place de Neuve... The square stands on the site of the Porte de Neuve, built in 1564 as part of the medieval city walls. A cultural mecca dotted with 18th-century townhouses, the Conservatoire de Musique, built in 1835, the imposing Grand Théâtre and the Musée Rath, inaugurated in 1826. The Grand Théâtre was built in 1874-1879 by Jacques-Olivier-Goss, inspired by the construction of the Opéra Garnier in Paris at the same time.
