Basilica of the Benedictine Abbey Santa Maria de Montserrat, Montserrat, Catalonia, Spain. Hermit monks first settled on the sacred mountain of Montserrat in 900 AD and the monastery was founded in 1025. It was destroyed in 1811 during the Napoleonic wars and rebuilt, along with the basilica, in 1850. Here we see the apse and part of the dome above. The black Madonna, or La Moroneta, is housed in a side chapel and is visited by pilgrims from across the world.
