Wonderful Basilica, I went to the Rosary and then to the mass of 7 on Sunday. Mass of the past, with an altar boy, songs of those of a lifetime. Nice and pretty. Ideal environment, both inside (it has a lot of different images and carvings), and the outside, old, with its tower, its bell tower that rings bells very often, its square... worth visiting

It is one of the few examples of Gothic in Asturias. Its construction was commissioned by the city of Llanes, which began in 1240 and lasted until the 14th-15th centuries. Declared as a basilica on April 25, 1973. The temple is built on a basilica plan with three naves and three apses and is covered with a ribbed and stellar vault. On the north wall there is the tomb chapel of Juan Pariente or de la Trinidad, founded in the 14th century. The church has two strongly flared Romanesque facades, a belfry and a 16th-century portico protecting the facade from the south.

Wieskirche

The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (Wieskirche) is an oval rococo church, designed in the late 1740s by Dominikus Zimmermann. It is located in the foothills of the Alps in the municipality of Steingaden.

The sanctuary of Wies is a pilgrimage church extraordinarily well-preserved in the beautiful setting of an Alpine valley, and is a perfect masterpiece of Rococo art and creative genius, as well as an exceptional testimony to a civilization that has disappeared.

The hamlet of Wies, in 1738, is said to have been the setting of a miracle in which tears were seen on a simple wooden figure of Christ mounted on a column that was no longer venerated by the Premonstratensian monks of the Abbey. A wooden chapel constructed in the fields housed the miraculous statue for some time. However, pilgrims from Germany, Austria, Bohemia, and even Italy became so numerous that the Abbot of the Premonstratensians of Steingaden decided to construct a splendid sanctuary.
