Fatima is a city in Portugal famous for the religious visions that took place there in 1917.
Fátima is famous for the shrine called the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, built to commemorate the events of 1917 when three peasant children claimed to have seen the "Virgin of the Rosary", Our Lady of Fátima. When the children asked for her name, she said "I am The Lady of The Rosary".
The children experienced the supossed Marian apparitions in a pasture called the Cova da Iria.
