Shrine of Fatima and medieval village of Obidos, unique experience

This Marian pilgrimage center evokes the apparitions of Our Lady to the three shepherd children Lúcia, Francisco and Jacinta, which occurred in 1917 and recognized in 1930. The place was a rural property, called Cova da Iria, and belonged to Lúcia's parents, who donated it to the sanctuary. It was here that five of the six apparitions took place.
The Sanctuary includes the Chapel of Apparitions, the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, the Prayer Room and the Basilica of the Holy Trinity.
Aljustrel, 2 km from the Sanctuary of Fátima, the three visionaries of Fátima were born. In this village we can see up close the essence of simplicity that guided the lives of Lúcia, Francisco and Jacinta.

Medieval village of Óbidos: within the walls, we find a well-preserved castle and a labyrinth of streets and white houses that enchant anyone who walks there. Between Manueline porticos, flowered windows and small squares, there are several reasons to visit, good examples of religious and civil architecture from the town's heyday.
