Charola

Reviewed By hans-jaguar - Santa Comba Dao, Portugal

The “Charola of the Convento de Cristo (c. 1160 - c. 1250)” is a religious building. The Charola (or Rotunda) is an integral part of the historical complex called “The Convento de Cristo” which has been classified as a National Monument, and this in the year 1910, and as a World Heritage Site, in the year 1983. The date of its construction dates back to the castle's origins (c. 1160) and is closely linked to the early days of the kingdom of Portugal and to the Order of the Templars, having been internally reconfigured in the 16th century. It is representing an confluence of Romanesque and Gothic styles, integrating Manueline decoration and an important set of 16th century paintings and sculptures. It served as a private oratory for the Knights Templar and later became a chancel for the church built during the reign of King Manuel I.

Convento de Cristo

Reviewed By Civls444

In order to see as much as possible of this extraordinary architectural and historical jewel you should allow a minimum of two hours. Just when you think you have explored every open room...wait! There is still more to see and marvel at. Don't be afraid to peek behind curtains and venture up small staircases.....

This church is huge. I was told that it seats 9000. It's across the square from the old church. It is more modern than the other church and very clean in design. I liked it.

I was so surprised and impressed with my visit to Fatima, the church in itself is impressive and huge, but the whole surroundings gives a lot of peace and respect for the beliefs of thousands of pilgrims.

O Milagre de Fatima - Museu Interativo

With the use of multimedia technologies, we have recreated the historical events from the beginning of the twentieth century, the apparitions of the Angel of Portugal, the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima and the Miracle of the Sun.Experience how it happened!

Reviewed By alexdavidwriter - London, United Kingdom

I agree with some of the other reviewers. This small interactive museum should be one of the first things seen when visiting Fatima. It works mostly as a guided visit and the guides do an excellent job of explaining the story of the Fatima apparitions, putting it into historical context and using the visual panels to spotlight aspects of the story. What makes the museum great are the 3D projections of the Virgin Mary’s apparitions. There are three of them and the third one, showing the miracle of the sun, even includes heat sensors to give you the same sensation people had at the time when they they felt the sun descending onto the earth! The museum was very quiet when I visited in November so I had the privilege of getting a personalized tour of my own from my English-speaking guide, which was a great experience. The second part of the tour is smaller and self-guided, and includes some audio of John Paul II’s speeches in Fatima. If you want to learn more details about the story you can visit the Museo de Cera afterwards, but I would really recommend visiting this museum first as it gives a more ‘live’ first impression of the Fatima miracles.
