Montserrat Monastery Spain
A Montserrat day trip from Barcelona is for many, a highlight of a visit to Catalonia. It offers an excellent way to experience Catalonia's culture and heritage, especially when it includes visiting its holiest site, the 16th-century Benedictine monastery of Santa María de Montserrat.

This historic Monastery site, once the place of a religious sighting, has come to symbolise one of the most important sites for religious pilgrimage in the world.
