Location

The Garden of Our Lady of Fatima is located in the Santa Lucrécia de Algeriz and Navarra area, a quiet zone in the locality of Braga. Its position, sometimes at higher elevations, allows visitors to enjoy an environment that combines a suburban setting with the proximity of more natural landscapes.

Views and Natural Environment

This space offers a wide perspective on the natural beauty that characterizes the surrounding landscape. It is an inviting place for those who appreciate unobstructed views, providing moments to observe the vast green expanse and, in certain points, glimpses of the city of Braga. The atmosphere is one of quietness, ideal for a relaxing stroll or for enjoying the serenity of the place.

Space for Devotion and Gathering

The garden is developed next to the Chapel of Our Lady of Fatima, a reference point for the local community. Outside the chapel, it is possible to observe an image of Our Lady of Fatima, which gives a devotional character to the space. The area was also designed for gathering, integrating elements that invite a pause, such as a picnic area, thus fitting the designation of "garden" by its capacity to provide outdoor leisure.

Origin and Redevelopment

The history of the place is closely linked to the construction of the chapel, which began in May 1942 and was inaugurated in June 1943. More recently, in September 2017, the chapel's atrium was redeveloped. These improvements contributed to providing the space with better conditions for visiting, allowing it to continue to be a meeting and contemplation point for those who discover it.
