Montserrat, Mountain range in Catalonia, Spain
The Montserrat mountain range extends 10 kilometers in length and 5 kilometers in width, reaching an elevation of 1,237 meters at Sant Jeroni peak.
The sedimentary rock formations of Montserrat originated from river delta deposits during the Eocene period, when the area received materials from ancient mountain ranges.
The natural park contains a network of thirty marked footpaths leading to former hermitage sites where monks lived in solitude among the mountain peaks.
Visitors can reach Montserrat from Barcelona through regular train services to Monistrol, followed by a cable car or rack railway ascent to the mountain.
The mountain range consists of pink conglomerate rock that erosion has shaped into distinct vertical pillars and rounded peaks across the landscape.
