Sanctuary of Fátima, Catholic pilgrimage center in Cova da Iria, Portugal
The Sanctuary of Fátima features two basilicas, a central square, and the Chapel of Apparitions where the Virgin Mary reportedly appeared.
Three shepherd children first reported seeing the Virgin Mary at this location on May 13, 1917, leading to the construction of religious buildings.
The sanctuary holds daily masses in multiple languages and hosts processions with candles during evening ceremonies throughout the year.
Visitors can access the sanctuary every day from 6:30 AM to 11 PM, with free guided tours available in Portuguese and English.
The Berlin Wall fragment near the sanctuary entrance represents the connection between Fátima's prophecies and European political changes.
