Overview

Embark on a profound journey from Lisbon to explore the spiritual oasis of the Fátima Sanctuary, followed by the historical richness of Batalha Monastery, both UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Fátima is the fourth largest Catholic pilgrimage site globally, drawing millions of faithful believers annually. Three young shepherds witnessed, in 1917, multiple apparitions of the Virgin Mary, marking the site's significance in religious history.

This tour promises not only a journey through Portugal's architectural and religious heritage but also an immersion into profound spirituality and historical significance.

On Mondays, when Batalha Monastery is closed, we will explore Valinhos and Loca do Anjo. This alternative tour on Mondays provides a meaningful and enriching experience.
If you prefer to visit Valinhos and Loca do Anjo instead of Batalha Monastery between Tuesday and Sunday, please choose the corresponding option when booking.

After lunch, visit Batalha Monastery, a Flamboyant Gothic style monument, renowned for its intricate stonework, vaulted ceilings, and ornate chapels. A masterpiece of Manueline architecture, these chapels were intended as royal mausoleums but remained unfinished, showcasing intricate carvings and symbolism. The monastery's cloisters offer serene gardens and cloistered walkways, providing a peaceful retreat for contemplation and reflection. Batalha Monastery was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983, recognizing its architectural and historical significance.On Mondays, when Batalha Monastery is closed, we offer an alternative excursion to Valinhos and Loca do Anjo, both significant sites associated with the Three Little Shepherds of Fátima.
