Detailed itinerary

THE HOUSE OF THE MARTO FAMILY:
This house was built in 1888 and restored in 2000. Here Francisco & Jacinta, the children of Olímpia de Jesus & Manuel Marto, were born. They were the youngest of nine children.
Francisco was born on June 11, 1908. The spirit of love &reparation for the offenses against God was noticeable in his life.
He was a contemplative. He spent hours " thinking about God".
He died in this house on April 4, 1919, at 11 years of age, victim of pneumonia.
Jacinta was born on March 5, 1910. She was full of the spirit of sacrifice. She offered everything as a sacrifice saying: "Oh Jesus, it is for love of You and for the conversion of sinners…
Before she went to the hospital in Ourém, Our Lady appeared to her in this house and asked if she wanted to convert more sinners with the sacrifice of her sickness. She died at the age of nearly 10 on February 20, 1920 in the Estefânia Hospital in Lisboa. On May 13, 2000, John Paul II came to Fatima to beatify Francisco & Jacinta.

Aljustrel is one of the places which composes the Parish of Fatima, and where the three Little Shepherds were born. Among the few houses that still remain from that period, even though restored, there are two which now belong to the Shrine and where the little Shepherds were born and raised. These houses deserve to be visited as they take part in the history of Fatima.
THE HOUSE OF THE SANTOS FAMILY:
It was built in 1885 and restored in 1987. Lúcia de Jesus, daughter of Maria Rosa and António dos Santos, was the youngest of six children. She was born in this house on March 22, 1907.
Lúcia died on February 13, 2005. She is buried next to Jacinta and Francisco, in the Basilica of the Rosary. At the age of 14 (after the death of her cousins Francisco and Jacinta), Lúcia was sent to Porto, to a convent school called Asilo de Vilar. In 1925, when she was 18, she chose the religious life and entered the Institute of S. Dorothea in Tuy and Pontevedra, Spain.

Stop 3

Basílica de Nossa Senhora do Rosário:** Marvel at the stunning neo-Baroque architecture of the basilica, which serves as a centerpiece of devotion in Fátima. Inside, be captivated by the beautiful mosaics, intricate chapels, and the revered statue of Our Lady of the Rosary. Don’t miss the opportunity to pay your respects at the crypt of the visionary children.
Capture the beauty, reverence, and emotional resonance of Fátima with your loved ones and create memories that will last a lifetime.
