The main draw to Montserrat is the statue of the Black Virgin discovered 1,000 years ago by the faithfuls living in the region. As such, the Santa Cova or The Holy Grotto trail had to be the most important trail of all as it ends at the cave where the original statue was found.
The highlight of Placa del Monestir (or the Sanctuary) is the Shrine of Our Lady of Montserrat and the Benedictine Monastery which were founded in year 1025. The monastery is home to 80 Benedictine monks and is closed to the public.
