The monastery is surrounded by the amazing beauty of Catalan nature. Montserrat Mountain consists of unique, giant rocks of an unusually beautiful, bizarre shape.
Every year millions of tourists and pilgrims from all over the world come here to visit the main shrine of the Montserrat Monastery – the statue of the Virgin Mary of Montserrat, which is popularly known as the statue of the Black Madonna.
The statue of the Black Madonna, a wooden sculpture of the Madonna with the Christ Child in her arms and a ball symbolizing the Universe, is considered a symbol and patroness of Catalonia.
the famous choir of boys studying at the music school at the monastery. Every day at one o’clock in the afternoon, the choir performs a 12-minute chant and thousands of people from all over the world strive to hear their angelic voices every day.
