Montserrat, Barcelona in 4K
I'm so happy I made the decision to visit Montserrat while I was staying in Barcelona. It will take your breath away, and I mean literally. First taking the funicular up the mountain is really amazing (and a bit scary). Then walking on the small city that sits on a rock is somewhat hard to believe. The cheery on top of my day trip was flying my drone. I'm so glad I was able to capture a perspective that would be impossible from the ground. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Montserrat, Barcelona - Catalonia's legendary monastery in a magnificent mountain landscape
Today we visit the famous Montserrat Monastery. The Benedictine monastery is the Catalan national shrine and lies in a wild and majestic mountain landscape. It is one of the most visited destinations in the hinterland of Barcelona.
To travel from Barcelona to Montserrat we take the train. From Plaça d'Espanya train station, the R5 train leaves every 20 to 40 minutes. At the “Monistrol de Montserrat” station we change to the “Cremallera de Montserrat” rack railway, which takes us directly up to the monastery. Even this 15-minute ride is a first highlight with great views of the rugged sandstone mountains. The entire journey from Barcelona to Montserrat takes approximately 1.5 hours.
The rack railway ends directly at the Montserrat Monastery at an altitude of 725 meters. The massive monastery nestles directly against the rock walls like an eagle's nest, while the bizarre rock needles rise into the sky above, a fantastic view. From here you have an breathtaking view of the Catalan hinterland and as far as Barcelona, where you can clearly see Tibidabo, Barcelona's local mountain. The monastery of Montserrat itself is architecturally nothing special; the unique panoramic location and the wonderful rocky backdrop into which the walls were built are impressive.
The monastery was built between 1025 and 1035. The main features of today's monastery complex date from the 15th century. In 1811 the monastery was largely destroyed by Napoleonic troops and then rebuilt in a more functional style. At the time of the Franco dictatorship, the monastery resisted. Despite the ban, Catalan continued to be spoken there and masses were held in Catalan. Many of those persecuted by the Franco regime were hidden here. More than 20 monks were executed because of this. This resistance makes the monastery today an important symbol of Catalan independence and the fight against oppression. There is also a museum with works by well-known artists such as Monet, El Greco and Dali as well as archaeological and liturgical exhibits.
The main religious attraction is the black madonna, which was found in the 12th century and is said to have performed miracles and is now the patron saint of Catalonia. The madonna is still the destination of pilgrimages today. It towers over the high altar in the monastery's basilica. In her honor, around 50 choir boys from the monastery's boarding school sing church songs every day. We stand in line for the visit to the Black Madonna. This winds its way very slowly through the side rooms of the basilica and we need a lot of patience until we finally stand in front of the legendary figure.
But actually from our point of view not the monastery is the highlight, but the landscape that surrounds it! As if out of nowhere, the mighty mountain range of Montserrat rises from the plain and reaches a height of 1236 meters at the summit of Sant Jeroni. The rugged mountain landscape with rugged peaks and bizarre rock formations exudes a fascination that is difficult to resist. We take the “Funicular de Sant Joan” cable car up to the mountain station at an altitude of 970 meters. From here you can hike up to the highest peak, Sant Jeroni, in about an hour. Unfortunately we only make it to the hermitage of Sant Joan because the visit to the black madonna took us more time than expected. But this short hike also offers great views and exciting paths between rock faces and abysses. This mountain landscape is a hiking paradise. The further you go, the quieter it becomes. A stark contrast to the lively city of Barcelona and also the heavily visited monastery!

In 1025, Oliba, Abbot of Ripoll and Bishop of Vic, together founded a new monastery at the hermitage of Santa Maria de Montserrat. The little monastery soon began to receive pilgrims and visitors who contributed to the spread of stories of miracles and wonders performed by the Virgin.
In 1409 the monastery of Montserrat became an independent abbey. From 1493 to 1835, a period in which the monastery underwent great reforms, growing and increasing in splendour, Montserrat was part of the Valladolid Congregation.

Montserrat, Catalonia - Spain 4K Travel Channel
Montserrat is about 40 km north-west of Barcelona. Montserrat is at the same time name of the monastery and of sand stone mountains. It is one of the landmarks of Catalonia. The highest peak, Sant Jeroni is 1,236 m high. From Barcelona we go by train in about 30 minutes to the lower cableway station, built 1930 by the Leipzig company Adolf Bleichert & Co. A cable car takes us up to the monastery of Montserrat, which is located at an altitude of 720 m.
Apart from the cable car, there is a winding road and since 2003 a rack railway to the monastery. From there you can take a funicular railway to the summit of the mountain. Another funicular railway brings you down to the holy cave where the dark Madonna, since 1880 the patron saint of Catalonia, was allegedly found.
Of course, the mountain can also be reached by foot over steep trails.
The monastery from the 12th century is visited by many pilgrims, who worship the Black Madonna, which can be seen in the apse of the monastery church. Approximately 80 monks live here today.
In addition, the monastery is known for its boys' choir Escolania de Montserrat, which is proved documentary since 1307. Every day around 13.00 they sing the Marian hymn Virolai the in the church.
Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey is famous for its spectacular location, but also as a symbol of Catalan nationalism. During the Franco dictatorship it enjoyed religious privileges. It was not subordinated to the bishops appointed by Franco, and therefore the holy masses in the monastery were celebrated in Catalan, which was forbidden in the rest of the country. During our visit we got an impression.
On the square in front of the church the people are dancing the Sardana.
In 1881, Pope Leo XII declared the church a Basilica minor.
The Montserrat monastery is a Benedictine abbey. Here, St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus, took his vow.
Adjoined to the monastery is a library of 200,000 volumes and an archaeological museum.

Montserrat liegt ca. 40 km nordwestlich von Barcelona. Es ist zugleich der Name des Klosters und des Sandsteingebirges und eines der Wahrzeichen Kataloniens. Der höchste Gipfel, der Sant Jeroni ist 1236 m hoch. Von Barcelona fahren wir mit dem Zug in ca 30 Minuten zur Talstation der 1930 von der Leipziger Firma Adolf Bleichert & Co errichteten Seilbahn. Die Seilbahn bringt uns dann hinauf zum Kloster, das auf 720 m Höhe liegt.
Außer der Seilbahn gibt es eine kurvenreiche Straße und seit 2003 eine Zahnradbahn mit der das Kloster erreichbar ist. Von dort führt eine Standseilbahn zum Gipfel des Gebirges und eine andere hinab zur Heiligen Höhle, in der angeblich die dunkle Madonna, seit 1880 die Schutzpatronin Kataloniens, gefunden wurde.
Natürlich lässt sich der Berg über steile Pfade auch zu Fuß erklimmen.
Das Kloster aus dem 12. Jahrhundert wird von vielen Wallfahrern besucht, die die schwarze Madonna verehren, die in der Apsis der Klosterkirche zu sehen ist. Heute leben hier ungefähr 80 Mönche.
Außerdem ist das Kloster bekannt für seinen Knabenchor Escolania de Montserrat, der seit 1307 urkundlich nachgewiesen ist und täglich um 13.00 in der Kirche das Marienlied Virolai singt.
Das Kloster ist berühmt wegen seiner spektakulären Lage, aber auch als Symbol für den katalanischen Nationalismus. Während der Franco Diktatur genoss es kirchliche Sonderrechte. Es unterstand nicht den von Franco ernannten Bischöfen und deshalb wurden im Kloster die Messen in katalanischer Sprache, die im übrigen Land verboten war, gehalten. Während unseres Besuches bekamen wir direkt einen Eindruck. Auf dem Platz vor der Kirche wurde Sardana getanzt.
Papst Leo XII. erhob 1881 die Kirche in den Stand einer Basilica minor.
Das Kloster ist eine Benediktinerabtei. Hier legte der heilige Ignatius von Loyola, der Gründer der Societas Jesu, des Jesuitenordens, sein Gelübde ab.
An das Kloster angeschlossen ist eine Bibliothek mit 200.000 Bänden und ein archäologisches Museum.

Montserrat, Barcelona | The Sacred Mountains of Calatonia, Spain
While staying in Barcelona, we decided to head out to the Catalan Pre-Coastal Mountain Range of the province Barcelona in Spain. Montserrat is a multi-peaked mountain range near Barcelona, in Catalonia, Spain. The main peaks are Sant Jeroni (1,236 m), Montgrós (1,120 m) and Miranda de les Agulles (903 m). It is well known as the site of the Benedictine abbey, Santa Maria de Montserrat, which hosts the Virgin of Montserrat sanctuary.
In this 4K video, we booked a hiking tour to Sant Jeroni, the highest point via Airbnb and had a great time with Jamie, the host of this tour. You can find him on:
As you can see, the weather wasn't the best, it was raining and we didn't have jackets with us, but it also gave the tour a special vibe.
Fantastic experience, as a mountain lover I can only recommend this climbing tour.
