Fátima Sanctuary & Pastorinhos Village, half-day from Coimbra

About

The Sanctuary of Fátima is, par excellence, a place of Christian pilgrimage and Catholic devotion, preserving the memory of the events that led to its foundation, namely the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima to the three shepherds – Lúcia dos Santos, Francisco and Jacinta Marto – in 1917 .

Its magnitude and relevance from a religious point of view has been widely recognized nationally and internationally. Due to the express wish of the Holy Apostolic See, this is a National Shrine .

It is also one of the most important Marian Shrines in the world, belonging to the Catholic Church and the largest international destination for religious tourism, receiving around six million visitors a year.

In this tour, we will visit the place of Aljustrel , the so-called Aldeia de Valinhos , place where the 3 little shepherds lived. After visiting, we head to Cova de Iria , to the Sanctuary for a free visit to the Basilicas of Nossa Senhora do Rosário and Santíssima Trindade as well as to be able to attend a Mass in the Chapel of the Apparitions .
