Miraculous place is able to amaze at the start (4)
I believe the answer is:
cana
'miraculous place' is the definition.
(site of Jesus turning water into wine)
'able to amaze at the start' is the wordplay.
'able' becomes 'can'.
'at the start' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'amaze' is 'a'.
'can'+'a'='CANA'
'is' is the link.
(Other definitions for cana that I've seen before include "Village where Christ changed water to wine" , "Town of Gospel wedding feast" , "Village where Christ turned water into wine." .)
