Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary

Standing at the heart of the Sanctuary, the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary is an iconic site of prayer and reflection. Inaugurated in 1953 and designed by Dutch architect Gerardus Samuel van Krieken, this majestic church honors the apparitions of Our Lady of Fátima.

Inside, the atmosphere is peaceful and filled with light, enhanced by beautiful stained glass windows illustrating the Mysteries of the Rosary. The basilica also holds the tombs of the three shepherd children — Jacinta, Francisco, and Lúcia — who witnessed the 1917 apparitions. It’s a meaningful stop for all visitors, whether drawn by faith, history, or architecture.

Chapel of Apparitions

Located at the exact spot where Our Lady is said to have appeared to the three shepherd children in 1917, the Chapel of the Apparitions is the most sacred site within the Sanctuary of Fátima. Built by local devotion, this small and humble chapel has become a powerful symbol of faith, attracting millions of pilgrims from around the world.

At its center stands a column with the statue of Our Lady of Fátima, surrounded by quiet prayer, candlelight, and deep reflection. Whether you're visiting for religious reasons or simply seeking a moment of peace, the chapel offers a unique space for connection and contemplation.

Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity

Completed in 2007, the Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity is a remarkable example of modern religious architecture and one of the largest Catholic churches in the world.

Praia do Norte – Home of the Giant Waves

Praia do Norte, in Nazaré, is one of the world’s most iconic beaches — famed for its record-breaking giant waves and the adrenaline of big wave surfing.
