Montserrat Abbey in Barcelona

🌟🌟Montserrat Abbey is located on Montserrat Mountain, an hour’s drive from Barcelona. The name “Montserrat” means “saw” in Spanish, and as the name suggests, the peaks of this mountain look like the teeth of a saw from a distance, making it quite distinctive. 🌟🌟The most famous feature of Montserrat Abbey is the veneration of the Black Madonna statue. Similar to other stories of Black Madonna statues, this one was also discovered by a shepherd in a cave on the mountain, inspired by the Virgin Mary. Consequently, the abbey was built on the mountain to venerate her. 🌟🌟Montserrat Abbey holds a supreme position in the hearts of the people of Barcelona. It’s said that before every Barcelona football match, many fans come here to pray for victory. 🌟🌟Pro Tip: You need to buy a ticket to enter the abbey. For visitors, there are mainly two types of tickets: ① tickets to enter the church hall and ② tickets to go upstairs for a close-up touch of the Black Madonna. Be careful not to buy the wrong one; I almost bought a ticket for church mass. Also, pay attention to the specific visiting time when purchasing your ticket. #BarcelonaTravel #Spain #BarcelonaDayTrip #Barcelona
