A stone's throw from the Town Hall, period cannons are displayed under the arcades. This is the old arsenal in operation from 1720 to 1877 to defend the city. Behind the cannons, three frescoes by Alexandre Cingria depict key moments in the city of Geneva: the arrival of Julius Caesar in 58 BC, the fairs of the Middle Ages and the arrival of the Huguenots following the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes.
