Casas dos Pastorinhos
These are the two cottages in the nearby hamlet of Aljustrel, where the three shepherd children who reported seeing the Virgin Mary were born. To reach them, from Fátima's Rotunda Sul (south roundabout) take the N360 to Aljustrel for just over 1 km (½ mile) and turn right onto Rua dos Pastorinhos, then follow the parking signs ("parque ligeiros"). The two houses—Lúcia's and that of her two cousins—are a 5-minute walk apart; their simple interiors aim to give visitors some idea of what life was like in those times, while displaying some of the children's personal items.
