Santa Cueva de Montserrat, Cave chapel in Montserrat Natural Park, Spain
The Santa Cueva de Montserrat consists of a chapel built into a mountain cave, featuring historicist architecture and natural rock formations along its walls.
The cave gained religious significance in 880 when shepherds reported seeing lights and hearing melodies, leading to the discovery of a Virgin Mary statue.
The path to the chapel contains sculptures created between 1896 and 1916, including works by architects Antoni Gaudí and Josep Puig i Cadafalch.
Visitors need to climb 244 exterior steps and 500 interior steps to explore the cave system, where the temperature maintains at 14 degrees Celsius.
The chapel's construction from 1696 to 1705 required extensive supporting walls due to its location on a steep mountain slope.
