Inside Private homes. You can peek here and there
Mauro Morini (6 years ago)
Beautiful but left to decay
Loredana Sproniero (7 years ago)
What the hell have you seen? A ruin abandoned for years where there is nothing and you cannot even enter.
Luigi Greco (Salento Messapico) (7 years ago)
Beautiful sixteenth-century manor house, the only one in Salento that still has its original structure without any alterations, made up of four square-plan towers. The moat remained the touch for just over half of its original structure, still has the caves that housed the wild beasts that were freed in case of invasion

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.
