Fátima - A place of worship for a spiritual visit
Fatima has a huge variety of places and points of interest to visit. Your visit can start with the House of the Little Shepherds, these are located 3km south of the Sanctuary of Fatima, in a village called Aljustrel. The houses were preserved as they were at the time of the apparitions, and at the bottom of one of the houses is the well where the Angel of Peace appeared for the second time.
Then you can visit the Sanctuary of Fatima and the Chapel of the Apparitions. This little chapel is the heart of the Sanctuary because it was in this place that the Virgin Mary appeared 5 out of 6 times. This chapel maintains the original features since 1919.
