The Basilica of Montserrat, located in the heart of the Montserrat mountain range, is one of the main pilgrimage centres in Catalonia and home to the venerated Virgin of Montserrat, known as "La Moreneta".

Upon entering the basilica, you are greeted by its imposing Renaissance-style façade, while its interior stands out for its mix of Gothic and Renaissance styles.
