Definitely my favorite place in Geneva, whatever the season, early in the morning or as evening falls. It feels good, somewhere else, and a place where you can dream all at once.

Impressive tomb with an interesting history.

After the Second World War, United Nations / UNO After the Second World War, when the League of Nations was dissolved and the newly founded UNO took over the palace, the complex underwent several extensions. Building K was extended by three floors between 1950 and 1952. At the same time, building D was built as the temporary headquarters of the World Health Organization (WHO). The construction of building E, which serves as a conference center, took from 1968 to 1973. The entire complex is around 600 meters long in its current state and houses 34 conference rooms and 2,800 offices. Around 9,000 meetings with up to 28,000 delegates take place here every year, including around 600 larger and large conferences. This makes the Palais des Nations one of the largest centers for diplomatic conferences anywhere. Some parts of the complex are also open for guided tours, which are widely used by the public. After all, around 100,000 visitors take advantage of this opportunity every year. The Palais des Nations is expected to be extensively renovated from 2015, with costs estimated at several hundred million euros. A proud sum, but with it the UN is acknowledging the special importance of the palace for Geneva and Switzerland as well as for its member states https://denkmalpflege-schweiz.ch/2014/06/02/das-palais-des-nations-in-genf-europaeischer-hauptsitz-der-uno/

The Palais des Nations in Geneva - European headquarters of the UN The Palais des Nations has been the European headquarters of the United Nations since 1966. After the headquarters in New York, this is the second most important location of the UN worldwide. The building complex is located on the grounds of Ariana Park in Geneva and was built between 1929 and 1936. Between 1933 and 1946 it served as the headquarters of the League of Nations, which had previously resided in the Palais Wilson, also in Geneva, since its foundation in 1920. In 1926, the officials of the League of Nations announced an international architectural competition for a new administrative center. However, despite the large number of 377 submissions, the jury was ultimately unable to decide on a winner. Therefore, its members selected five architects from among all participants to work together to develop a new design. These were Julien Flegenheimer (Switzerland), Camille Lefèvre (France), Henri-Paul Nénot (France), Carlo Broggi (Italy) and Joseph Vago (Hungary). They had previously submitted the most favored designs. The current building was finally built in the late neoclassical style on the basis of their ideas. When the foundation stone was laid on September 7, 1929, a capsule was buried that contained a list of all member states, a copy of the founding act of the League of Nations and coins from all countries. The various League of Nations sections, starting with the Secretariat, moved in in several stages from 1933 up to 1936. The materials and furniture for the interior, most of which has been preserved to this day, were also donated by the League of Nations members.
