Lovely as it is, this little country town of less than 8,000 about 75 miles north of Lisbon wouldn’t be on the radar if it weren’t for its most famous citizens: the three shepherd children who, in 1917, saw monthly visions of the Virgin Mary in the Cova da Iria pasture. Today, the site is marked by the Basílica de Fátima, where pilgrims come on the 13th of every month to honor the Virgin and her young visionaries, especially in May and October, when the apparitions originally began and ended.

Got there with mass beggining at the apparition chapel. Different sensation for the second visit. Much more religious feeling this time. Better impression of the Basilica as well. Left the place in peace. Prayed for so many people.

Located just below the main entrance of the Basilica of the Holy Trinity, the Museum is in the complex housing the Chapels of the Holy Eucharist and Confessionals. Of course, it houses many historical pieces on Fatima and it is well worth the visit, and it's free.
