- Montserrat - Montserrat is a mountain-top monastery located on a unique rock formation, marking the highest point of the Catalan lowlands. The monastery is home to “la Moreneta,” also known as the Black Madonna. According to legend, Benedictine monks discovered the statue and, unable to move it, decided to build the monastery around it. Montserrat was declared a National Park in 1987 and is now a pilgrimage site for people worldwide. Visitors can enjoy a 45-minute guided tour in a small group, followed by 2 hours of independent exploration. Activities include visiting the Museum, sampling the monastery’s homemade liquor, taking a leisurely walk to Saint Miguel’s cross for stunning views, riding the Sant Joan Funicular, capturing beautiful photos, and purchasing local products at the farmer’s market.
- Abadia de Montserrat - The monastery’s origins are uncertain, but it is believed that the Virgin of Montserrat (La Moreneta) was discovered around 880. Tours at 8:30 am and 1:30 pm include tickets to see La Moreneta. Legend has it that the monks constructed the monastery around the statue. Today, the monastery is still active with over 70 monks. The basilica of Montserrat began construction in the 16th century and now features an art museum. It is also home to la Escolania, one of Europe’s oldest Boys’ Choirs, which performs during religious ceremonies (audible on the 9:30 am tour).
- La Moreneta - “La Moreneta” is the Virgin of Montserrat, the patron saint of Catalonia. This Romanesque wooden statue from the 12th century has darkened over time, giving it its distinctive black appearance. Located in the Montserrat Monastery, it holds significant spiritual and cultural importance for the Catalan people.
