Fossati 180
Swiss Architects from Morcote to Istanbul
2023 will mark 180 years since the construction of the church of Sen Piyer & 140 years since the death of Gaspare Fossati.
To commemorate him, the Dominican Friars together with the Swiss Consulate of Istanbul wish to restore his church and open the affiliated priory to the public again by transforming it into the Library of DoSt-I.
