The 4th apparition of our Lady of Fatima occurred on August 19, 1917, at Valinhos, distant about 500m from the Village of Aljustrel, because, on the 13th , the children had been kidnapped by the County’s Administrator and taken to Ourém.
The monument commemorating this apparition (see photo) was built by Hungarian Catholics and inaugurated on August 12, 1956. The white statue of Our Lady of Fatima is the work of Sculptor Maria Amélia Carvalheira da Silva.
