Ourém is a municipality in the historic Portuguese province of Beira Litoral. The main historical attraction of the municipality is the mighty Castle of Ourém. Millions of faithful Catholics come to the parish of Fátima (which has its own separate article) every year to visit Cova da Iria, the site where three child shepherds are said to have had visions of Our Lady of Fátima in 1917. The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fátima has become one of the largest religious tourism sites in the world.
