One star is missing due to the complete lack of maintenance. Luckily it is placed under the constraint of the ministry of cultural heritage ....

Great place to visit along the SS106 road (one of the best road for touring) in the South Italy. A little bit difficult to reach the castle cause the bad condition of the road. On the top there a special view on the Jonian Sea. Like a lot of places in the south Italy is abandoned. Just near the castle there is a beautiful watchtower. I recommend to visit it.

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.
