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!

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 Spain - The BEST day trip from BARCELONA
Montserrat Spain. An incredible place just a short day trip from Barcelona.
With a monastery on a mountain, a 90-year-old cable car, a funicular train, and stunning views. This place is a must-visit.
We were blown away by the amazing walks and scenery of Montserrat. If you didn't know this place was here, it would be easy to walk right past it!

Montserrat is one hour from Barcelona but bit of a hidden gem. Although plenty of tourists visit the monastery, the walking routes are very quiet. This place has a fascinating history with Napoleon and Himmler paying it a visit. Himmler specifically came looking for the holy grail which he believed would give him supernatural powers. It is easy to get here from Barcelona and a perfect day trip. We sleep in our car again and find out that many truck stops have showers to use for a small fee, a great budget travel hack.

This is the BEST hike of Barcelona: An epic day trip to Montserrat
Embark on a breathtaking adventure as I explore the stunning landscapes of Montserrat through an exhilarating hike close to Barcelona! This video is about an epic day trip to the Montserrat Monastery to start an hiking adventure of the Sant Jeroni Trail. For me the Montserrat Mountain offers the best hike of Barcelona!
Whether you are into hiking or not, if you are in Barcelona do not miss out on Montserrat. Montserrat is only one hour away from Barcelona and easily reachable by public transportation. The Montserrat Mountain offers epic hiking routes but even if you are not into hiking adventures, the Montserrat Monastery is worth a visit. The Montserrat Monastery is a very historic place of Barcelona but also for Catalunya. The Montserrat Monastery can be visited everyday and you will be impressed by its beauty and the history you will learn about in the Monastery.
Besides the Montserrat Monastery you can also visit nearby viewpoints of the Montserrat Mountain or do the Sant Jeroni Trail wich is the most popular circular hike of Montserrat.

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.

The Monastery of Monserrat in Spain
The Monastery of Monserrat in Spain
►Read the blog:
A 1 hour drive norththwest of Barcelona is the remarkable Santa Maria de Monserrat Monastery, nestled among the Monserrat mountain range.
The easiest way to access the monastery is to take the Funicular to the top. The ride offers a stunning panoramic view of the jagged mountains below.
Montserrat was the first national park in Spain.
The black statue of the Virgin Mary clutching baby Jesus dates back to the 12th century. Local legend claims that the Benedictine monks were forced to build their monastery around the statue because none of them could physically move it.
In 1844, the Virgin of Montserrat was deemed the patron saint of Catalonia by Pope Leo XIII. For this, Monserrat is one of Catalunya’s most spiritually and culturally significant places.
