SANCTUARY OF FTIMA - Built in 1928 with local limestone, in neo-baroque style, the Sanctuary includes the monumental Basilica and two lateral wings. It is known as the Altar for the world. In this shrine is perpetuated the Apparition of Our Lady to Jacinta, Francisco and Lcia _ the three shepherd children of Ftima. On the 13th May 1917, while they were watching a small flock of sheep graze in Cova da Iria, the children saw a strong flash of light, out of which came an even brighter light that rested in a small oak. The Virgin was illuminated in the light, and she asked the children to pray and invited them to return in the following months. The local of the apparitions was marked with a wooden arch and with a cross. The little tree was vanished, bit by bit, took by the pilgrims. On the 6th August 1918, the construction of a little chapel began with the help of people's charity.This chapel, a homage to Our Lady, was built with stone and chalk, covered with tile. It was the first construction in the actual site of prayers, measuring 3,30 metres long, 2,80 metres large and 2,85 metres high.The Sanctuary of Ftima receives many millions of believers on pilgrimage and praying, from all over the world. The most important date of the year is the 13th May, the Annual Pilgrimage, and all the 13th of each month from May to October. Besides the Sanctuary you can visit the Pope Paul VI Pastoral
Centre; the homes of the shepherd children and the Aljustrel Ethnographic's Museum; the Via Sacra and Calvary; the Valinhos, Our Lady Monument; the Angel Site; the Ftima Wax Museum; the Sacred Art and Ethnology's Museum; the 1917 Apparitions' Museum and you can also see the multimedia show, Fantastic Ftima. Leiria Leiria grew upon the slopes around the castle and was the home of many civilisations including the Romans, Visigoths and Arabs. THE HISTORIC PINE FOREST OF LEIRIA - It is a wild pine forest, covering around 12000 hectares. The first planting begun in the reign of King Afonso III, although it was King D. Dinis _ The Farmer King _ who increased and organised the planting, not only to anchor the sands that the winds from the coast dragged inland, but also to serve the crown's maritime interests on the Portuguese Discovery's. More recent is the use of charcoal to heat homes, to provide fuel for the glass and foundry ovens. The pine's resin was also used to produce resinous products. Nazar The municipality of Nazar is situated on the
Centre Coast of Portugal. Fishing has always been the principal activity of Nazar and people from this town formed the cod fishers' crews to Terra Nova. However, nowadays the fishing industrialisation, the seaport shelter construction (1983) and the crises in fishing activity help the loss of fishing importance activity, making many fishermen and families to look for another profession. Standing high above the promontory is the Suberco's Belvedere affording one of the finest seascapes in Portugal and where the visitor can see the imprint of a horseshoe left in the rock by D.Fuas Roupinho's horse. The traditional link between the beach and Stio is by rock railway. Is the nearest beatch from Fatima. 5o km, the acess road is the autostrada.
