Symbolism: According to its authors, the monument symbolizes the Holy Trinity, with the obelisk divided into three columns that join at the top. The figures at the base represent pilgrims with their belongings, in an attitude of devotion. Inauguration: The work was inaugurated on October 27, 1990, and blessed by D. Serafim de Sousa Ferreira e Silva. Strategic Location: The roundabout serves as a main gateway to the city and directs visitors to the main roads leading to the Sanctuary of Fatima, such as Avenida D. José Alves Correia da Silva, Rua Jacinta Marto and Avenida Beato Nuno.

The monument in the image is the Pilgrim Monument, located at the Pilgrims' Roundabout (also known as the North Roundabout) in Fátima, Portugal. This is the first major monument that most pilgrims coming from the A1, Leiria and Batalha motorways see upon entering the city, visually marking their arrival at their destination of faith.

Five-star local accommodation for the friendliness, welcome, service and kindness of Katia who helped us during our stay. Mr. Luís, the owner, is a cyclist and despite being on vacation, was always available to give me tips on the routes to follow. I highly recommend it, and the cat "Pedal" is a little dear who only wants to be pampered.

After the revolution of 1383, Portugal found itself in a difficult conflict with the neighboring Kingdom of Castile. The battle was decided in 1385 when the Castilian and Portuguese armies clashed at the Battle of Aljubarrota. The Castilians outnumbered and were better armed. As a military leader, Nuno Álvares Pereira loyally stood by his patron, John of Avis. The Portuguese achieved a resounding victory, which is attributed in particular to the strategic genius of Nuno Álvares Pereira. With this victory, the Castilian claims to Portugal were permanently repelled. John of Avis was proclaimed king by the Cortes, as John I of Portugal, thus establishing the second Portuguese dynasty, the House of Avis. Nuno Álvares Pereira became a national hero, and the grateful king showered him with honors and material possessions.

The Boitaca Bridge began to be built in 1862, during the reign of King Luís I, as attested by the inscription on a tombstone placed there. Its name derives from the former owner of the land, the French master Diogo Boitaca or Boytac. Crossing a branch of the River Lena, which runs through the parish of Batalhão, it was part of an old royal route that connected Lisbon to Porto. The bridge, in revivalist and neo-Gothic style and tinged with yellow, is defined by a flat deck over six pointed arches, surrounded by buttresses, on which rise pinnacles. Between these elements, and contributing even more to the Gothic air of the monument, is the stone fence with quatrefoils.

The Batalha Parish Church, also known as the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, is a national monument located in Batalha. This church, built in 1540, has a beautiful Gothic portal and decorative elements in the Manueline style. It was designed by the famous architect João del Castilho.
