Sanctuary of Fatima

This sacred site in Fatima, Portugal is said to have been where apparitions of the Virgin Mary appeared to three children between May 13 and October 13, 1917. The Sanctuary of Fatima is a group of many buildings including the Chapel of Apparitions, Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, Perpetual Adoration Chapel, The Big Holmoak, Monument to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and House of Our Lady Dolours. There also is a piece of the Berlin Wall at the sanctuary as many believe that prayer was part of the reason it was torn down. The Sanctuary of Fatima, also called the Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima, is the destination of many Roman Catholic pilgrimages, especially between May 13 and Oct. 13. It is estimated that four million people visit the site every year.
