 Founded iu 1771, completed in 1773. Octagonal structure built in 

 great part at the exj)ense of J. A. Mellet, upon a casemate of the 

 Bastion Saint Autrine. In 1829 the representative council of the can- 

 ton i)assed a resolution for the construction of a new observatory to be 

 built upon the same bastion, not far from the old edifice. It is com- 

 posed of a main building of one story, and of two lateral turrets with 

 hemispherical domes. In 1879 the original building had an annex built 

 to it ; at the same time a tower was erected to the west of the old 

 building, iu which the 10-inch refractor, i)resented to the cantons of 

 Geneva by E. Plantamour, has been placed.
