Spiritual travelers and history fans come to Basilica de Nossa Senhora do Rosario de Fatima, where it is believed the first of six apparitions of the Virgin Mary in Portugal occurred. This church, along with a grouping of Roman Catholic structures at the same site, serve as a national monument and sanctuary for religious pilgrimages. The basilica honors the recorded sightings in 1916 of an angel believed to be the Virgin Mary. Join the many others who come to this site because of its spiritual presence, historical curiosities, and architectural intrigue. You can go inside the church to see the carillon of 62 bells and stained-glass windows depicting the events of the Marian apparitions at Fátima.

  C'est un lieu paisible et reposant. On peut y aller pour prier, mais aussi pour se promener Bien sûr il faut choisir une période hors pélérinage pour éviter l'affluence.  more »

  It is a peaceful and relaxing place. You can go there to pray, but also to walk Of course you have to choose a period outside of pilgrimage to avoid the crowds.
