We visited the Shrine of Fatima which is in what was a remote location north of Lisbon. The square is huge and larger than at St. Peters. The cathederal and related buildings are now enveloped by many hotels, restaurants and shops. Hundreds of pilgrims hike to the area with many crawling on their knees the last several hundreds of yards to the location where the three shephards witnessed the apirition of the Virgin Mary.
