Basilica of the Holy Trinity, Fátima

The circular structure spans 125 meters in diameter with white stone walls and contains 8,633 seats within its unobstructed interior space.

The construction started in 2004 after decades of planning, and Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone inaugurated the basilica on October 12, 2007.

The basilica features bronze doors dedicated to Christ and the Apostles, plus ceramic panels created by international artists representing religious themes.

The interior space can be divided into two sections using a movable partition, allowing simultaneous services and events throughout the day.

The cornerstone of the basilica contains a marble fragment from Saint Peter's tomb in Rome, donated by Pope John Paul II.
