Sanctuary of the Imaculado Coração de Maria
"God wishes to establish the worship of my immaculate heart in the world". According to tradition these were the words uttered by Nossa Senhora de Fátima in 1917, which were then engraved in the rustic stone of the tower, and thus served as the starting point of the construction of the Sanctuary. The tower was inaugurated in 1962, the Way of the Cross and the Calvary in 1964 and the fifteen Mysteries of the Rosary, sculpted in stone, in 1967.
The sanctuary is considered to be the "lateral altar" of Cova da Iria. The sanctuary enables worshippers of Nossa Senhora de Fátima who are unable to visit Fátima, to make a pilgrimage to this site.
The most important day of religious festivities is on the last Sunday in May, which thus brings a close to the month of the Virgin Mary.
