What makes Private 6-hour tour of Fatima from Porto with Hotel pick up a unique experience ?
The heart of your visit, the Sanctuary of Fátima is a sprawling complex that resonates with a profound sense of peace and spirituality. The centerpiece is the Chapel of the Apparitions, marking the spot where the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to three shepherd children in 1917. Nearby stands the impressive Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, an elegant building housing the tombs of the visionaries, adorned with stunning art and stained glass.
A striking example of contemporary architecture, this basilica contrasts with the traditional designs of the other buildings in the sanctuary. It’s one of the largest Christian churches in the world, with a spacious interior that holds thousands of worshippers, and it’s known for its remarkable acoustics and minimalist design.
A short distance from the sanctuary, the path to Valinhos is a tranquil walk that follows the route taken by the shepherd children. This leads to the Loca do Anjo, where the Angel of Peace is said to have appeared to the children, setting the stage for the later apparitions of the Virgin Mary.
For a different perspective on the story of Fátima, visit the Wax Museum. Here, life-size wax figures depict the significant events of the Fátima apparitions, providing a visual narrative of these historical religious events.
Visit the humble homes of the visionaries – Lúcia, Jacinta, and Francisco – in the nearby village of Aljustrel. These well-preserved houses offer a glimpse into the simple, rural life of the children and the context in which the apparitions occurred.
