Funicular de la Santa Cova, Mountain funicular in Monistrol de Montserrat, Spain.
The Santa Cova Funicular transports passengers on a 262-meter track with a vertical descent of 118 meters from Montserrat Monastery to Santa Cova cave.
The Ferrocarrils de Muntanya a Grans Pendents company constructed this transportation system in 1929, which later integrated into FGC management in 1986.
The funicular leads to Santa Cova cave, where shepherds reportedly discovered the image of the Virgin of Montserrat according to regional traditions.
Two vehicles accommodate 48 passengers each, moving up to 600 people per hour at a speed of 5.4 kilometers per hour on the mountain slope.
The infrastructure underwent complete renovation in 2001 following severe flood damage, introducing new panoramic vehicles for enhanced mountain views.
