A church whose interior is all stone... beautiful... go there in the evening and you will appreciate it even more!

Beautiful example of Apulian Romanesque that fits well between the cathedrals on the sea of Trani, Barletta and Molfetta. The façade is adorned with a central portal of great charm and full of symbolic-biblical references. Not to be missed for those visiting Bisceglie.

Romanesque cathedral, beautiful in its simplicity. More prominence should be given to the historic center

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.
