A basilica of reverie
Montserrat comprises the Sanctuary of the Virgin Mary of Montserrat and the Benedictine monastery which for almost 1,000 years has been at the service of pilgrims from all over the world. These pilgrims come to worship the Black Madonna, a Romanesque sculpture dating from the late 12th century featuring delicately carved features. Enjoy timed entry tickets to see the Black Madonna, before you set off to explore the rest of Montserrat.
The rest of the Montserrat complex
With an audio guide, a map, and an informative booklet, you can discover on your own all the most important facets of the monastery's history, not to mention the major sites of the Sanctuary of Montserrat. The Audiovisual Room 'Montserrat Portes Endins' showcases what Montserrat is all about and what it means. The exhibition revolves around three main elements: the mountain, the monastery, and the sanctuary.
The Museum of Montserrat (MDM) is home to one of the country's most important art collections. Containing works by Caravaggio, El Greco, Rusiñol, Casas, Picasso, Dali, Monet, and others, it also has a valuable collection of the Archaeology of the Ancient World with archaeological remains from the Near East (ancient Persia, Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Holy Land). There are also temporary exhibitions in addition to the permanent collection. The MDM was declared a Museum of National Interest in 2006.
Montserrat Boys’ Choir, which serves the sanctuary of Montserrat, is one of the oldest in Europe that accompanies religious ceremonies and communal prayers in the basilica, from Monday to Friday at 1 pm.
