Small place, but very interesting and well explained with information panels. The outside area is amazing in spring. It is worth your visit.

Beautiful Roman Villa. It is worth paying the €2.5 for the entrance. We didn't have a guide but you can have one. The impressive mosaics. There are explanatory signs around the premises. The Villa is covered for its conservation. Access to the Roman villa is a bit rustic and has a large parking area.

Some nice mosaics, nothing in English, but good signal so you can use Google translate. Very limited hours open

An incredible Roman Villa dedicated to winemaking and agriculture. Perfectly restored and preserved. You can visit it on your own or with guided tours. A must see if you are in the area.

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.
