The significance of Fátima stretches beyond its immediate vicinity and the encompassing nation, as we embark on an exploration starting with a visit to the rural homes of the three shepherds in the Aljustrel village, which is located four kilometers from the Sanctuary. These were the dwelling places of Lúcias dos Santos and her relatives Jacinta and Francisco, the trio of shepherds who experienced the celestial manifestations of the Virgin Mary in 1917.

We then proceed towards the Sanctuary that hosts multiple sites of interest, most notably the small Chapel of Apparitions constructed precisely at the spot where these divine sightings occurred, alongside two Basilicas: Our Lady of the Rosary, housing the shepherds’ thumbs, and the Basilica of the Holy Trinity, ranking among the largest catholic churches globally.

At the sanctuary, you will avail ample time to traverse the sacred complex, partake in the mass, and tour the numerous religious structures constituting the sanctuary. A singular voyage through the layers of faith and history enveloping one of Portugal’s most renowned landmarks. A remarkable spiritual journey.
