Serra de Montsant Natural Park

The Serra de Montsant Natural Park stretches across the Tarragona Province with sandstone cliffs, deep canyons, and Mediterranean vegetation covering its mountainous terrain.

The area served as a sanctuary for religious hermits during medieval times, leading to the establishment of the first Carthusian Priory in the Iberian Peninsula, Scala Dei.

The mountain range holds deep spiritual meaning for the local communities, reflected in the numerous ancient monasteries and religious structures scattered throughout the park.

Visitors can explore the park through a network of marked trails called 'graus', which provide access to the central areas through natural passages in the cliff faces.

The park received certification for both light and sound quality preservation, making it an exceptional location for stargazing and astronomical observation in Catalonia.
