MAIN SIGHTS
- Basilica of Santa Maria de Montserrat
With more than 1,000 years of history, the Benedictine Monastery of Montserrat is one of the most important spiritual and cultural landmarks in Catalonia. Over 70 resident monks still use the basilica for daily liturgies and special celebrations, creating a unique atmosphere that adds exceptional value to any group excursion from Barcelona to Montserrat.
- Temple of the Black Madonna – “La Moreneta”
Inside the basilica stands the famous Black Madonna of Montserrat, the patroness of Catalonia and one of the most venerated religious icons in Spain. This beautiful Romanesque sculpture is displayed in a chapel above the altar. According to local tradition, pilgrims touch the sphere she holds — a powerful and unforgettable moment during a Montserrat pilgrimage or cultural group tour.
- Montserrat Art Museum
The Montserrat Museum of Art features an impressive collection of over 1,300 works, including masterpieces by Caravaggio, El Greco, Monet, Dalí and Picasso. It is a perfect complement for agencies offering premium cultural itineraries in Catalonia, adding strong artistic value to the standard Montserrat visit.
