City tour. We will go to visit the Belem District of Lisboa is the city's most prominent monument, the Jeronimos Monastery (Mosteiro dos Jeronimos). The amazing structure is considered to be the most successful achievement of the Manueline style. In 1983, the UNESCO established the monastery as a World Heritage Site. An enormous facility, construction of the monastery began in 1502 and took nearly 40 years to complete. The building was funded through tax dollars on some, but not all, Eastern spices. Diogo de Boitaca designed the monastery. Boitaca, along with Igreja de Jesus, is considered to be an originator of the Manueline style. Unlike most buildings in Lisboa, the monastery stood strong through the 1755 Great Earthquake of Lisboa with very little damage. An event that did bring the monastery to its knees took place in 1833 when the building was vacated by the elimination of the religious orders in Portugal. The structure actually deteriorated and nearly collapsed during this time. The monastery is in the same style of the nearby Tower of Belém and the Monument to the Discoveries which symbolize the celebration of the most important historical period of the Portuguese nation and are one of the most important tourist attractions of Lisbon.

Depart after breakfast for visit Fatima with our double name guide FATIMA BUGARIN , a little piece of history says: On 13 May 1917, three children were pasturing their little flock in the Cova da Iria, parish of Fatima, town of Vila Nova de Ourém. Today the diocese of Leiria-Fatima. They were called: Lucia de Jesus, aged 10, and her cousins Francisco and Jacinta Marto, aged 9 and 7. About midday, after praying the Rosary, as was their custom, they were amusing themselves building a little house of stones scattered around he place where the Basilica now stands. Suddenly they saw a brilliant light, and thinking it to be lightning, they decided to go home. But as they went down the slope another flash lit up the place, and they saw on the top of a holmoak (where the Chapel of Apparitions now stands), "a Lady more brilliant than the sun", from whose hands hung a white rosary. The Lady told the three little shepherds that it was necessary to pray much, and she invited them to return to the Cova da Iria during five consecutive months, on the 13th day at that hour. The children did so and the 13th day of June, July, September and October, the Lady appeared to them again and spoke to them in the Cova da 0a. On the 19th of August, the apparition took place at Valinhos, about 500 meters from Aljustrel, because on the 13th the children had been carried off by the local Administrator to Vila Nova de Ourém.
