XII century The ancient church of Saint Peter was built in the very heart of the medieval city not far from Saint Peter's Gate. Known as the Church of San Pedro and San Ildefonso, it was built on a Visigothic church. The Church of San Ildefonso was renovated in Romanesque style during the 12th century, preserving the doorway, the main chapel and a rose window.

Walking through the historic center before reaching the Cathedral, we visited this church full of a lot of history, apart from the fact that after the Cathedral it is the largest church. Built on a Visigoth church in the 12th century, later renovated and expanded in the 15th century. In the 16th century it was declared an Archpriest church. Inside, the remains of San Ildefonso and San Atilano rest on the High Altar. Declared a National Monument in 1974. The interior is worth seeing and photographing.

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.
