Itinerary
1
Fátima
Fátima is the fourth largest Catholic pilgrimage site globally, drawing millions of faithful believers annually. Three young shepherds witnessed, in 1917, multiple apparitions of the Virgin Mary, marking the site's significance in religious history.
Built on the exact spot where the Virgin Mary appeared to the children, the Chapel of the Apparitions is a place of reverence and prayer.
The Sanctuary features the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary and the modernist Basilica of the Holy Trinity, both monumental structures reflecting architectural grandeur and spiritual sanctity.
2 hours and 30 minutes

Batalha Monastery
After lunch, visit Batalha Monastery, a Flamboyant Gothic style monument, renowned for its intricate stonework, vaulted ceilings, and ornate chapels. A masterpiece of Manueline architecture, these chapels were intended as royal mausoleums but remained unfinished, showcasing intricate carvings and symbolism. The monastery's cloisters offer serene gardens and cloistered walkways, providing a peaceful retreat for contemplation and reflection.
Batalha Monastery was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983, recognizing its architectural and historical significance.
On Mondays, when Batalha Monastery is closed, we offer an alternative excursion to Valinhos and Loca do Anjo, both significant sites associated with the Three Little Shepherds of Fátima. This tour provides a deeper insight into the spiritual and historical context of the Fátima apparitions.
1 hour and 30 minutes

Valinhos Sanctuary
This alternative tour provides a meaningful and enriching experience, connecting visitors with the profound spiritual heritage of Portugal and the enduring devotion inspired by the events of 1917.
Valinhos is where the Angel of Peace (Guardian Angel of Portugal) appeared to the three shepherd children, prior to the apparitions of the Virgin Mary at Fátima. It has become a place of pilgrimage and prayer, offering visitors a serene atmosphere for reflection and spiritual contemplation. Visitors can explore the Chapel of Valinhos and follow the Stations of the Cross, reflecting on the events that preceded the Fátima apparitions.
Loca do Anjo is where the Angel of Portugal appeared to the children for the first time, preparing them for the subsequent apparitions of the Virgin Mary. The site holds significant importance in understanding the spiritual journey of the three shepherd children and the messages conveyed to them by the Angel.
