Fatima is a small Portuguese town in the district of Santarém.

The town became famous in 1917 when three shepherd children have witnessed several times a Marian apparition. October 13, 1917 thousands of people have seen the sun miracle whirling on itself like a silver disc. Virgin have also issued three children the message of Fatima.

Road trip à Fatima au Portugal.
Visite du sanctuaire, des églises, et d'une exposition.
Fátima est une petite ville portugaise située dans le District de Santarém.

La ville devient célèbre en 1917, quand trois jeunes bergers auraient été témoins à plusieurs reprises d'une apparition mariale. Le 13 octobre 1917 des milliers de personnes y auraient assisté au miracle du soleil tournoyant sur lui-même comme un disque d'argent. La Vierge aurait également délivré à trois enfants le message de Fatima. Ces apparitions ont justifié la création du sanctuaire de Notre-Dame de Fátima, lieu d'un célèbre pèlerinage catholique.
