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.

The magnificent entrance portico of the Igreja de Santa Maria da Vitória is unique in the history of Portuguese art, a work by the Master Huguet (1402–1438). It features an elaborate iconographic ensemble comparable only to the great porticoes of European cathedrals: six apostles on each side, virgins, martyrs, popes, monks, angel figures, God, and the four evangelists...

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.
