I wanted to visit it since it is under construction but the view is great.

The ruins of this fortification are located about five kilometers northeast of the city of Murcia, very close to its hamlet of Monteagudo. The building was built on a small height from which a good part of the surrounding plain and the fertile fields of the vega del Segura are controlled. Due to its strategic location, it is visually connected to the castle of Monteagudo, Larache, the urban center of Murcia, and other important fortifications that guarded the aforementioned water channel.

A magnificent place with the intention of giving it life again, currently full of weeds, in front of it is the Monteagudo Castle and below its slopes the museum, undoubtedly in a unique enclave, which apparently will be restored next to the Larache Castle, a the wait is hopeful that this will happen and soon Murcia will have an archaeological park of the King Wolf worth visiting.

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.
