Itinerary and highlights
Visit the Sanctuary of Fátima and its basilicas on this half-day trip from Lisbon. Discover where the 'Three Little Shepherds of Fatima' lived and meet their descendants.
The Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima stands at the place where the three shepherds were playing by "building a small wall" on May 13, 1917, when they saw a sudden lightning and got frightened to the point of gathering the flock to return home for fear it would rain.
Inside are the tombstones of the three shepherds
Walk through the 8 meter high main door, made of bronze dedicated to Christ and enter this enormous basilica
The small village of Aljustrel was the birthplace of the three little shepherds and the house of the brothers Francisco and Jacinta can be visited, as well as Lúcia’s house, converted in a museum, depicting local lifestyle in the beginning of the 20th century. Departing from Aljustrel you can walk along the Valinhos via sacra.
