Begin with a guided visit to the houses of the shepherd children, where the story of the apparitions first emerged. Continue with a guided exploration of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima, visiting the basilicas, chapels and the Chapel of the Apparitions, with time to reflect, take photos or attend mass.

What to expect

  1. 15m
    Travelers will visit the humble home where the three shepherd children of Fátima lived: Francisco, and Jacinta. The house has been preserved to reflect the simple rural lifestyle of the early 20th century, offering insight into the environment and family life in which the apparitions took place.
  2. Casa De Lucia
    15m
    Visit the house where Sister Lúcia was born and grew up. A humble home where she lived with her large family, offering a glimpse into the rural life of the little shepherds
  3. Poco do Arneiro
    10m
    Arneiro’s Well, a sacred place where it is believed Lúcia had her first visions. In 1916, she shared how she encountered the Angel of Peace here. Once used by locals and Lúcia’s family, it remains a place where many pilgrims stop to pay their respects
  4. 30m
    Travelers will see the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, an impressive neoclassical church that houses the tombs of the three shepherd children. The basilica’s white stone façade and tall bell tower are among the most iconic images of Fátima.
  5. Chapel of the Apparitions
    30m
    This small chapel marks the exact place where the Virgin Mary is believed to have appeared to the three shepherd children in 1917. It is the spiritual heart of the Sanctuary of Fátima, where pilgrims gather daily to pray, light candles, and participate in religious ceremonies.
  6. Basilica of the Holy Trinity
    30m
    This modern basilica, consecrated in 2007, is one of the largest Catholic churches in the world, with a capacity of over 8,000 people. Its contemporary architecture contrasts with the older basilica, symbolizing the ongoing importance of Fátima as a place of pilgrimage.
