Montserrat is a rock massif located 30 km from the center of Barcelona between the regions of Anoia, Bajo Llobregat and Bages. With a height at its highest peak of 1,236 meters above sea level.
On this mountain the Benedictine monastery and sanctuary of Montserrat, is dedicated to the Lady of Montserrat.
In heraldic representations, Montserrat appears as a group of mountains of gold on a field of gules with a gold saw that cuts it above.
In 1987 was declared a natural park to guarantee its conservation.
The sanctuary of Our Lady of Montserrat has its historical origin in the hermitage of Santa Maria that Count Wifredo el Velloso donated to the monastery of Ripoll in 888.
In addition to the Benedictine monastery, the mountain has a prominent number of small churches and casts, some abandoned, such as Santa Cecilia, Sant Benet, Sant Joan or Sant Jeroni, which can be accessed, either walking or climbing.
In fact, Montserrat is one of the climbers’ passions in Catalonia.
