Montseny Massif, Protected mountain range in Barcelona Province, Spain
The Montseny Massif rises to 1,706 meters at Turó de l'Home peak and contains three major mountain groups within the Catalan Mediterranean System.
The region holds numerous megalithic structures and ancient settlements, with sailors using the mountain range as a navigational reference point throughout Mediterranean history.
The massif territory includes small Romanesque mountain churches and traditional farmhouses that reflect the architectural heritage of Catalonian mountain communities.
Visitors can access the massif through major roads AP-7, C-17, and C-25, with train connections available from Barcelona to nearby towns.
The Montseny brook newt, found exclusively in this massif's cold streams above 600 meters, represents one of Spain's most restricted vertebrate distributions.
