Victoria Hall

Constructed between 1891 and 1894 as a tribute to the queen of England, the Victoria Hall is renowned throughout the whole world for the acoustic qualities of its concert auditorium. Owned by the City of Geneva, it was renovated in 2006 in order to increase the comfort of the spectators and musicians.
