Legendary monastery sitting on Catalans most outstanding mountain the Montserrat. The park around the mountain is also great for walking and climbing.
Santa Maria de Montserrat is an abbey of the Order of Saint Benedict located on the mountain of Montserrat. This mountain has a very particular shape, and has inspired many artists over the years, including Jean Nouvel, whilst building the 38-story skyscraper “Torre Glòries” in Barcelona. It is notable for enshrining the image of the Virgin of Montserrat, which is traditionally a place of pilgrimage and it is said that to touch this Romanesque carving of the Virgin (also labelled "La Moreneta") can bring good luck. The monastery was founded in the 11th century and rebuilt between the 19th and 20th centuries, and still functions to this day as a residence of roughly 80 monks.

The abbey's train station, operated by FGC, is the terminus of a rack railway connecting with Monistrol, and two funiculars, one connecting with Santa Cova (a shrine and chapel lower down the mountain) and the other connecting with the upper slopes of the mountain. At 1,236 metres (4,055 ft) above the valley floor, Montserrat is the highest point of the Catalan lowlands, and stands central to the most populated part of Catalonia.

From Sant Jeroni, almost all of Catalonia can be seen, and on a clear day the island of Mallorca is visible.
