What makes Wonderful Private Full Day Tour in Fátima, Nazaré, Óbidos a unique experience ?
Basílica de Nossa Senhora do Rosário is the oldest church in the Sanctuary of Fátima, and it was inaugurated in October of 1953. It was built in the exact place where the three Pastorinhos, Lúcia, Jacinta and Francisco, saw the first sign of Nossa Senhora de Fátima, in May 1917. You can also see the tombs of Pastorinhos in this Basílica.
On the opposite side of Nossa Senhora do Rosário, is the new church of the Sanctuary, Basílica da Santíssima Trindade. Inaugurated on October 12th, 2007, it has a more modern appearance, similar to an auditorium, which aims to receive people of all religions and beliefs.
Built in 1919, Capela das Aparições is located on the site of the holm oak where Nossa Senhora de Fátima appeared to the Pastorinhos. Next to the chapel is Sala das Velas, where visitors can buy and light candles to say their prayers.
The current Cruz Alta replaced an antique one built in 1951, which was donated to Santuário Nacional do Cristo Rei, in Almada. The new Cross was built on August 29, 2007, next to the statue of John Paul II.
Outside the Sanctuary complex, Casa dos Pastorinhos is 2 km away. You can visit Lúcia’s house, as well as the house of cousins Francisco and Jacinta, free of charge. On the way to their houses, you will have to go through a street called Via Sacra, with several chapels that represent the Passion of Christ.
Capela de Santo Estevão and the Hungarian Calvary are at the end of Via Sacra dos Valinhos. Calvário Húngaro reveals a beautiful statuary installed on the terrace above the chapel. The chapel was built in 1964, and renovated in 1994, which included mosaics that represent the apparitions at Cova da Iria.
Created in 1955, the Museum of the Santuário de Fátima demonstrates all the sacred art of the sanctuary. You will also be able to see objects offered by pilgrims, historical, artistic and ethnographic documents and testimonies of pilgrimages.
The Monastery of Batalha (Portuguese: Mosteiro da Batalha) is a Dominican convent in the municipality of Batalha, historical Beira Litoral province, in the Centro of Portugal. Originally, and officially, known as the Monastery of Saint Mary of the Victory (Portuguese: Mosteiro de Santa Maria da Vitória), it was erected in commemoration of the 1385 Battle of Aljubarrota and would serve as the burial church of the 15th-century Aviz dynasty of Portuguese royalty. It is one of the best and original examples of Late Flamboyant Gothic architecture in Portugal, intermingled with the Manueline style. The monastery is a historic and cultural monument and was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983.
Nazaré, Portugal, nestled along the picturesque Atlantic coastline, beckons travelers with its captivating charm and intriguing attractions. Beyond its renowned surfing scene, Nazaré boasts a wealth of experiences that make it a destination worth exploring.
The image of Our Lady of Nazareth is that of a black virgin. Carved in wood, it was brought from Merida to this oceanic promontory in the year 711 by Friar Romano, a monk of the convent of Cauliniana, who fled the Muslim invaders in the company of D. Rodrigo, the last Visigothic king after the defeat of the Christian armies in the Battle of Guadalete. It is presumed that they sought refuge in the Visigothic monastery which then existed in the vicinity, and from which the St. George Church survives.
Portugal’s Nazaré holds an outsized role in the big wave surfing world. The infamous Nazaré Canyon causes huge Atlantic swells to assemble in the depths, before eventually focusing their collective energy on Praia do Norte (North Beach). With its towering cliffs serving as an amphitheatre for crowds and a bright red lighthouse atop the Fort of São Miguel Arcanjo to put the monstrous waves in perspective, Nazaré is both a spectator’s and a photographer’s dream, and it was inevitable that images of its biggest days would captivate surfers and non-surfers alike.
The enchanting Medieval village of Óbidos, encircled by walls, will amaze you with its endless beauty. This is why until 1883 Óbidos was exclusive property of the Queens of Portugal. A UNESCO Creative City, Óbidos is a paradise for book lovers from all over the globe. A literary town embellished by bougainvilleas, winding streets and colourful houses
