The Mario Botta Church in Mogno at a glance
The 17-metre-high church was built between 1992 and 1996 according to plans by the Ticino architect Mario Botta. It replaces the previous building from the 17th century, which was destroyed by an avalanche in 1986. The cylindrical shape with the sloping glass roof and the striped pattern of marble and the natural stone gneiss make it a landmark of modern sacred architecture.
