Fátima is a city in central Portugal and a major Catholic pilgrimage destination. It became widely known following reports of apparitions of the Virgin Mary to three shepherd children, Lúcia, Francisco and Jacinta, beginning in May 1917. These events are commemorated at the Sanctuary of Fátima, which includes the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fátima, the Chapel of the Apparitions and the Basilica of the Holy Trinity. Millions of visitors and pilgrims come to the sanctuary each year to pray, attend Mass and other religious services, and seek spiritual comfort.

In addition to its religious significance, Fátima offers a number of attractions, such as the Wax Museum and the Garden of the Shepherds, which commemorate the history of the apparitions. The town has a quiet and reverent atmosphere, reflecting its central role in the Catholic faith.
