A place where history and art come together, making every step a journey into the past. Fátima is the centre of the Catholic faith and a place of pilgrimage for people from all over the world. Its Sanctuary — which received Pope Francis in 2017, on the occasion of the centenary of the apparitions — is a must-visit, regardless of one’s faith. The serene and symbolic atmosphere of the place speaks for itself.
