You're standing at St. Pierre Cathedral in Geneva, high up on the hill of Saint-Pierre. Start with the front. Those columns and that crisp triangular pediment look more like a Greek temple than a medieval church. You're not imagining it. The Neo-Classical façade was only added in the eighteenth century, in front of a Gothic church that was begun around 1160.
