Review & FAQ:
If you're interested in religious history, few destinations are as worthwhile as the town of Fátima, the proud home of a famous Catholic pilgrimage site called the Sanctuary of Fatima.
The sanctuary marks the spot where the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared in 1917, and it boasts two beautiful basilicas, a massive main plaza, and a chapel. The best time to visit is on the 13th of each month between May and October, but no matter when you come, you can admire the architecture and visit the Museum of Sacred Art and Ethnology next to the sanctuary.
