Start your tour at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima, a spacious square shaded by ancient trees. See iconic landmarks, including the High Cross, the Berlin Wall monument, and the Holm Oak Tree, where the shepherds first encountered the Virgin Mary. Then, explore the beautiful Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, with its striking nave and altars holding the tombs of the shepherd children Jacinta, Francisco, and Lucia.

Continue to the Chapel of the Apparitions, built on the exact spot where five of the Virgin Mary's six apparitions took place. As the "heart" of the sanctuary, this humble chapel shares stories of devotion and resilience, from its initial blessing in 1921 to its miraculous rebuilding after being destroyed in 1922.

You'll then enter the modern Basilica of the Holy Trinity, which is a striking contrast to its surroundings. Its grand altar is made from local stone and marble from the Apostle Peter's tomb in Rome.

Then, follow the footsteps of the shepherds along the Way of the Cross, leading through the Hungarian Calvary dedicated to St. Stephen. You'll also pass Loca do Anjo, the spot of the Angel's apparitions, and the Arneiro Well, where the second angelic apparition occurred.
