Fátima, Religious pilgrimage center in Santarém, Portugal
Located on the Cova da Iria plateau at 322 meters elevation, Fátima extends across 71 square kilometers in the municipality of Ourém.
In 1917, three shepherd children reported seeing apparitions of the Virgin Mary, leading to investigations that resulted in official Catholic Church recognition in 1930.
The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fátima includes two basilicas, the Chapel of Apparitions, and prayer areas where millions gather annually for religious ceremonies.
The city maintains regular bus connections to Lisbon and Porto, while offering numerous accommodations ranging from religious guesthouses to modern hotels near the sanctuary.
The Natural Monument of Dinosaur Footprints, located 10 kilometers from the religious center, contains extensive prehistoric tracks discovered in limestone formations.
