The whole church is white in color, covered with stone from the region: Branco do Mar (White from the Sea). The Basilica has a total of 8,633 seats, including 76 for people with limited mobility. Its construction was paid completely with donations from pilgrims.
Attend the 11 o’clock mass. Depending on the day and the season the mass may be celebrated in the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima or in the square of the Sanctuary.
