Vista Montserrat

Montserrat is the spiritual heart of Catalonia. The Benedictine Monastery of Montserrat is where the monks worship Catalonia's Patron Saint, the black Madonna of Montserrat. As you travel up the mountains to the XIV c Monastery you will have a chance to admire the unique stone formation of this natural park and the breathtaking views from the Shrine at 721 m (2100 feet).

The Mountain of Montserrat is 1 hour 30 minutes from Barcelona by train and cable car. You will have an historical and cultural introduction to the Monastery as well as a geological approach to the natural park. Discover why they worship the Black Madonna and how the shepherds found her. At the monastery you can choose between a visit to the Basilica of the XII c “Moreneta” or taking the funicular to Sant Joan for spectacular views across Catalonia.

Don't miss the singing of the Escolania Choir (little school) one of the most prestigious children's choirs in Europe. The Escolania was founded in the XIV c and they sing Mondays to Fridays and Sundays in the Basilica.
