Martin M. Miles' photos with the keyword: Chapel of the Apparitions

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. Between the basilicas is a vast square. To the right is the "Capelinha das Aparições" ("Chapel of the Apparitions"). In the backdrop the "Basílica da Santíssima Trindade" ("Basilica of the Holy Trinity"), consecrated in 2007. The fourth largest Catholic church - wordwide. www.fatima.pt/en/
