Postcard from Portugal!

Today I got a nice postcard from Portugal! The postcard shows a scene at Fátima, which is located in the Portuguese Centro Region. Fátima is a civil parish that is most popularly associated with the Marian apparitions that occurred there in 1917. These apparitions were recognized by the Catholic Church and is the reason why many pilgrims go here. The parish has a population of about 11,500 people and it has an area of about 70 square kilometres. Thanks Miceu!
