Located in the town of Saintes, the thermal baths of Saint-Saloine are the remains of a Roman spa establishment created in the 1st century AD. Located in an outlying district of the town, like from the amphitheater, the remains classified as Historical Monuments still reveal to visitors sections of the walls of the old caldarium, stones from the Saint-Saloine church, a later building abandoned in the 16th century.
The site, which bears witness to the daily life of the inhabitants of Saintes under Antiquity, also unveiled during archaeological excavations many ancient and medieval sarcophagi, meaning that the place was subsequently transformed into a necropolis.
References: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.
