    Nowadays, the Valinhos are visited by thousands of Portuguese and foreign pilgrims who take the route of the Via-Sacra to the Hungarian Calvary, visit the Chapel of St. Stephen of Hungary and then visit the House of Lucy and the House of Francis and Jacinta Marto in the village of Aljustrel.
    In Valinhos, the sculptures of the Angel of Portugal and the various stations of the Via-Sacra are all written by Maria Amélia Carvalheira da Silva.

Departing from Aljustrel you can walk along the Way of the Cross in Valinhos.
  5. Basilica de Nossa Senhora do Rosario de Fatima
    30m
    Visit the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary (commonly called the Basilica of the Rosary) is a basilica that integrates the Sanctuary of Fatima, located in the place of the Cova da Iria, in Fatima.
  6. Capela Das Aparicoes
    30m
    Capela das Aparições - Fátima

    Monuments

    The Chapel, in the heart of the current Fátima Sanctuary, was built by local people in 1919 in response to the request made by Our Lady during one of the apparitions.

    The first mass to be held there was in 1921.

    Although subject to certain changes, due to preservation and maintenance requirements over recent years, the modestly sized chapel retains its rough design similar to a simple hermitage.

    The image of Our Lady marks the spot of the holm-oak tree, the site of the apparitions. The actual tree itself disappeared piecemeal as more fervent believers made off with it twig by twig. It was here that the shepherds came to say the rosary accompanied by other believers.
  7. Basilica of the Holy Trinity
    30m
    Basílica da Santíssima Trindade

    Monuments

    You can also visit the Holy Trinity Church in the Fatima Sanctuary grounds, opposite the Basilica.

    The church is a modern white building round the color of the stone that covers it, a local stone known as the “white sea”.

    With a total of 8,633 seats and an area of 40,000 m², the Holy Trinity Church is the fourth largest Catholic temple in the world in capacity.
