It’s a place of peace, reflection, and faith, attracting pilgrims and visitors from all over the world.
Chapel of the Apparitions: Located at the core of the sanctuary, this humble chapel stands on the exact spot of the Marian apparitions. It serves as a powerful reminder of the messages conveyed to the young visionaries.
Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary: This neo-Baroque basilica is an architectural masterpiece and a center of worship, art, history, and tradition. It commemorates the events of 1917 and honors the shepherd children who witnessed the apparitions.
The Way of the Cross (Via Sacra) and the Hungarian Calvary: Extending from the Sanctuary to the village of Aljustrel, this path follows the footsteps of the shepherd children with 14 stations depicting the Passion of Christ. It offers a profound physical and spiritual journey, culminating at the Hungarian Calvary, a collection of terracotta statues donated by Hungarian pilgrims, representing Christ's final moments on earth.
Basilica of the Holy Trinity: In contrast to the traditional architecture of the Sanctuary, this modern basilica, completed in 2007, is one of the largest Christian churches by capacity. It stands as a symbol of the enduring and evolving legacy of Fátima.
