Martin M. Miles' photos with the keyword: Basílica de Nossa Senhora do Rosário

After three local shepherd children witnessed a Marian apparition here in 1917, Fátima has developed into a major pilgrimage site of the Catholic Church. What started with a small chapel in 1918 is now the huge Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fátima that includes two basilicas. Only partly seen to the left is the round "Basílica da Santíssima Trindade" ("Basilica of the Holy Trinity"), consecrated in 2007. In the backdrop is the "Basílica de Nossa Senhora do Rosário" ("Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary"), built 1928 -1953. www.fatima.pt/en/
