Sanctuaire de Notre-Dame de Fátima
Fátima
Dimensions
Chapel of the Apparitions, Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, Basilica of the Holy Trinity
Period
Apparitions reported in 1917; sanctuary developed since then
What stands there
Group of several buildings around the esplanade of Cova da Iria
Fátima is often reduced to the great Basilica of the Rosary, and that is an error of perspective: the sanctuary is an ensemble, organised around the esplanade of Cova da Iria. Its heart is the tiny Capelinha das Aparições, the Chapel of the Apparitions, around which have been added over the course of the century the monument to the Sacred Heart, the Paul VI Pastoral Centre and the very vast Basilica of the Holy Trinity.
Getting there : Free access to the esplanade and the basilicas
