Sanctuary of the Virgin of Montserrat - Basílica Santuario Virgen de Montserrat - stock photo

To visit the sanctuary of the Virgin of Montserrat is to enter a place of incredible devotion. As the patron saint of Catalonia that she is, La Moreneta is more than an image, she is a symbol that transcends the purely spiritual. The basilica is beautiful, recently rebuilt (19th century), since the original from the 16th century was almost destroyed during the Napoleonic wars. A single nave welcomes us, with dark, intimate side chapels. In the background, far away, you can see the place where "la moreneta" (colloquial name of the Virgin of Montserrat due to its black color) is located.
