Cova da Iria is in Fátima, Portugal.

Pilgrims honouring the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima gather in Cova da Iria, on a huge esplanade in which is built a little chapel where the Virgin is believed to have appeared to the children. Around the esplanade are a considerable number of shops and stalls selling all kinds of religious articles.
