Why pilgrims come

Understand the Marian devotion rooted in Pontevedra

The former Dorothean convent where Our Lady and the Child Jesus appeared to Sister Lúcia in 1925–1926.

Visit the former Dorothean house associated with Sister Lúcia’s 1925–1926 experiences and the First Saturday devotion, keeping Pontevedra connected to the wider Fatima story without confusing the two places.
