Places of interest

2 – Chapel of the Apparitions, was built in the exact location where Our Lady appeared to the shepherd children where the holm oak once grew, and that is no longer there because it was taken piece-by-piece by the pilgrims who went to see it.
3 – Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima, was built on the place where the shepherd children were playing on May 13th 1917 before the apparition of Our Lady of Fatima. The mortal remains of the three seers are buried on this site.

5 – Pilgrims on foot. All through the middle of the Sanctuary of Fatima, we find the path the pilgrims take on their knees to pay for their promises.
