The Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary began construction on May 13, 1928 and in 1954 it was granted the title of Basilica by Pope Pius XII. The tomb of the three shepherd children stands out here: Francisco (died in 1919), Jacinta (died in 1920) and Lúcia (who died in 2005). Francisco and Jacinta Marto were canonized at the Sanctuary of Fátima, on May 13, 2017, by Pope Francis.
