Church of San Giovanni Battista in Mogno

Ingenious Swiss architect Mario Botta has created a number of unique facilities in many parts of the world. One of the most extraordinary masterpieces in the village of Mono on the territory of the Maggia valley in Switzerland. Church of St. John the Baptist was built after the tragic events of 1986, when the village covered avalanche that destroyed the house and the local church. Unusual structure initially evoked both criticism and positive feedback. Built of stone, white marble and gray granite church, the outside resembles a cylinder, escaping from the ground. But worth a look inside, as a first impression is reversed. The interior is filled with an ideal combination of colors and textures, black and white stripes and chess patterns increase the small space of the church. Futuristic church Mono admired as the whole architecture of Bott.
