Private Fatima HALF DAY

The phenomenon of Fatima is much greater than the settlement of Fatima and Portugal, and over the years its world dimension has undoubtedly been affirmed and not only for believers. What we propose is to begin with a visit to the Houses of the Shepherds, two houses separated by a few hundred meters in the village of Aljustrel, 4 kilometers away from the sanctuary. These were the residences of Lúcia dos Santos and Jacinta and Francisco Marto, the three shepherds who contemplated the apparitions of the virgin in 1917. In these spaces, we can find a faithful recap of scenes from other times such as ancient objects, family photos, clothes, kitchen utensils, furniture, among others. We then proceed to the Sanctuary, where there is much to see, namely, the Chapel of Apparitions, which marks the most precise place where the virgin's apparitions to the three shepherds took place. The Sanctuary has become an impressive place of faith and it is virtually impossible to remain indifferent to the energy that hangs in the air, even for non-believers. In addition to the aforementioned chapel, there are two basilicas: Our Lady of the Rosary, built in stone and marble in neo baroque style, and which has inside the tombs of the three little shepherds, and the Basilica of the Holy Trinity, much more recent (2007), being one of the largest Catholic temples in the world in capacity. Once you have arrived at the Shrine, what we propose is a free visit to the religious complex where you can attend Mass and visit the different religious buildings at the sanctuary. A unique tour about faith and history of one of Portugal's most famous sites. An unmissable pilgrimage!
