It is one of the greatest Marian sanctuaries in the entire world and approximately six million people come here every year. 
A place of pilgrimage, faith, and devotion, the most symbolic sites in the Sanctuary are the Chapel of the Apparitions – which was built where the Virgin Mary is sought to have appeared before the Little Shepherds; the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary – which holds the tombs of Saints Francisco and Jacinta Marto; the Basilica of the Holy Trinity; the Large Holm Oak; the block of the Berlin Wall; the Sanctuary’s Museum; and the Colonnade.
