The Wall of the Reformers was built in 1909 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the birth of John Calvin and the 350th anniversary of the founding of the Geneva Academy (now the University of Geneva). The monument was completed in 1917. The project, winner among 71 others in the competition, is the work of four Swiss architects. The statues were created by two French sculptors.

One of the most important sights in the city, the relief shows the various important reformers. The successful character portrayal of the stern gentlemen is also impressive.
