The town of Miglionico developed around the imposing Malconsiglio Castle, built in the 8th-9th centuries. With its six towers, it dominated the entire Bradano valley. The name of the castle is linked to the bloody story of the conspiracy of the Barons of the Kingdom of Naples against King Ferdinand I of Aragon (1485). The most particular part is the Hall of the Star also known as the Hall of Spirits where there are niches carved in the walls and support the treasures of the inhabitants.
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.
