A bit of history
The Jardin is the privileged witness of the evolution of the harbor at the end of the 19th century. The monumental fountain of the Four Seasons already sits in the middle of the park when the Mont Blanc Bridge, erected in 1862, appears. In 1869, the National Monument was inaugurated. The Jardin anglais has been further expanded and modified over the years.
The first park in the city to be composed in the English style with curved paths and trees planted free of alignment, the site originally called “the Promenade du Lac” became “the English Garden”.
In 1955, the place was decorated with the Flower Clock, which quickly became the most photographed monument in Geneva.
