16th century mansion which in 1918 was let to the Dorothean nuns, who created a convent and school. One of the postulant nuns was Sister Lúcia (1907-2005) who as a child in Fátima had seen recurrent visions of the Virgin Mary. In her convent cell here in 1925 she again had a vision, where Mary prescribed various religious observances. Her third vision was in Tuy in 1929, and this time Mary commanded the consecration of Russia. Lúcia's later life was in Coimbra. Fátima became a major pilgrimage destination, and to a smaller extent so did Pontevedra. There's a main chapel, and a smaller one in her cell.
The Sanctuary of the Apparitions is a Catholic convent and sanctuary located in Pontevedra, Spain. According to Sister Lúcia, it was here that the Child Jesus and the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to her in 1925-1926 and revealed to her the First Saturdays Devotion.
