Points of interest

• Monastery and the Black Madonna:
  This Benedictine abbey has existed for almost one thousand of years. It serves as an authentic spiritual retreat center and place of pilgrimage in honor of the Virgin of Montserrat. The current image of the Black Madonna, a wooden carving from the twelfth century, is a true symbol of the Catalan culture. Montserrat is a transcendent millenary place, a cradle of Catalan history and faith where organic forms of the mountains blend with modern art. Here is where angelic voices of the famous boy’s choir are resonating under the vaults of charming basilica. It is an invitation for thousands of pilgrims that are arriving here to be close to the Black Madonna sculpture.

  The Monastery enjoys a stunning location, surrounded by an unforgettable natural landscape. Declared a Natural Park in 1987, this rocky massif is characterized by the rounded shape of its peaks.
