About

Mount Montserrat, or the "split" mountain, is a unique landmark of Barcelona, known not only for its unusual appearance but also for the Benedictine monastery that crowns its summit. Notably, it houses the famous statue of the Virgin Mary of Montserrat, also known as the "Black Madonna."

A tour to Mount Montserrat is not just about visiting the monastery and taking a funicular to enjoy the breathtaking views. Every day, you can listen to the boys' choir in the basilica, see early works by Degas and Picasso in the museum, and make a heartfelt wish by ascending to the Madonna. Some brave souls even engage in rock climbing, as the mountain is well-suited for this sport.
