The most cherished presence at the Montserrat Monastery is the black statue of Mary.

Today, it is enshrined in the cathedral, where many pilgrims line up daily to pay their respects. The grotto where the Black Mary was found is Santa Cova. A chapel has been built in the grotto, which is now a cherished place of meditation where people can quiet their minds and offer prayers.

So I strolled through the strange rocky mountains of Montserrat to get to that chapel.

Along the way, there were works by Gaudi, and one could sense that he was inspired by this mountain.

The monastery, which stands on a strange rocky mountain, is particularly famous for its black statue of Mary and its choir, and has long been considered a sacred place in Catalonia.

In this article, I would like to introduce you to the quiet Montserrat. Most people visit Montserrat as a day trip, but that is a waste of time! To be honest, I could have stayed another week. I highly recommend this place.
