* Sanctuary of Fátima, a Catholic pilgrimage site
* Medieval walled town of Obidos with its cobblestone streets
* The Legend of Nazaré
Medieval walled town of Obidos with its cobblestone streets. Nestled in central Portugal, Óbidos is a charming medieval town that feels like a step back in time. With cobblestone streets, whitewashed houses adorned with vibrant flowers, and a stunning castle perched on a hill, Óbidos is one of Portugal's most picturesque villages.
Fátima is a central Portuguese town that's home to the Sanctuary of Fátima, a Catholic pilgrimage site. The Capelinha das Aparições marks the spot where the Virgin Mary allegedly appeared in 1917. Other sacred sites include the Basílica de Nossa Senhora do Rosário, with its golden angels, and the modern church of Igreja da Santíssima Trindade. From May through October 1917, the Lady appeared and spoke to the children on the 13th day of each month. News of these apparitions began to spread throughout the region. The children recounted that the Virgin told them that God had sent her with a message for every man, woman, and child living in the century. Their mother Olímpia Marto said that her children predicted their deaths many times to her and to curious pilgrims in the brief period after the Marian apparitions. They are now buried at the Sanctuary of Fátima. They were beatified by Pope John Paul II on 13 May 2000 and canonized by Pope Francis on 13 May 2017.
