Montserrat Monastery in Barcelona: photos, reviews

About

Montserrat Monastery is surrounded by 1,200 cliffs that have become its silent guardians. The sanctuary has belonged to the Benedictine order for over a thousand years, and today, 80 monks live, work, and offer their prayers to God here.

The main attraction of the monastery, which seems to draw crowds of tourists like a magnet, is the statue of the Black Madonna. According to legend, it was carved by the apostle Luke himself, and brought to Spain by Peter. Additionally, Montserrat Monastery features a small museum, considered one of the best in Europe. It houses a collection of paintings by Picasso, Degas, Dalí, and El Greco.
