Spain - Catalonia, Abbey of Montserrat

Spain - Catalonia, Abbey of Montserrat
The Santa Maria de Montserrat Monastery - a Benedictine monastery about 1000 years old - is situated half way up the mountains of the Montserrat Natural Park; a mountain range with weird shaped peaks of more than 1200 meters high.

The impressive basilica is by far the most interesting of the many buildings. Within the church is the chapel with the 12th century figure of Our Lady of Montserrat - known as la Moreneta (“little dark-skinned one”) - the patron saint of Catalonia.
The Basilica was greatly damaged during the war with the French (1808-1814) and could not be reconstructed until the end of the 19th century.

Picture: sculptures of Jesus Christ and the 12 Apostles on the façade of the Basilica
