San Giovanni Battista (Mogno)The church of San Giovanni Battista is in the heart of Mogno. Built between 1992 and 1996, which was designed by the famous Mario Botta. The contemporary building stands out among the traditional houses of the village because of its cylindrical shape cut in a diagonal and for the decorative use of stone. The force conveyed by the walls of the church is nicely balanced by the lightness of the glass cover.
