Sisi Monument
Mont Blanc Embankment, Geneva, Switzerland
Description:
Sisi Monument is located in Geneva on the Mont Blanc Embankment. This monument was erected by Elizabeth, Empress of Austria and wife of Emperor Franz Joseph I.
In 1898, Elizabeth, Empress of Austria-Hungary, arrived in Geneva, the city in which she was destined to die at the hands of the Italian Luigi Luceni. For all the good deeds that Elizabeth managed to do, for her love and devotion to the people, she was awarded a monument on the embankment of Mont Blanc. The monument was placed almost at the place where the Empress was killed. Now Sisi looks at the passing of the main street Avenida Monumental, and every day tourists put freshly cut flowers in her hands.
