The Church of Our Lady of Fátima is located in the Corunheiras urbanization, a residential area of Évora. Its presence in this contemporary neighborhood offers a different perspective of the city, inviting exploration of another facet of Évora's daily life, beyond its famous historic center. It is specifically situated in Praça de Nossa Senhora de Fátima (Our Lady of Fátima Square), a space that serves as a meeting point and reference for the local community.
Dedicated on May 15, 1999, the church features architecture that reflects its modernity, in contrast to the secular styles predominant in Évora. The building was designed to meet the needs of the local community, with a functional design that prioritizes the worship space. Its distinct structure and lines give it a prominent place in the urban environment of Corunheiras, marking it as one of the city's most recent religious buildings.
One of the central and most significant elements inside the church is the image of Our Lady of Fátima. Carved in wood and approximately 1.6 meters tall, this figure was acquired at Consolata, in Fátima, establishing a direct symbolic link with the important Marian sanctuary. The image is the focal point of the faithful's devotion, bestowing a profound spiritual meaning upon the space and the community that gathers here.
