Montserrat Tour
The
Montserrat is regarded by many Catalans as the most important spiritual and
cultural center 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.
