Базилика Девы Марии Монсерратской

The central nave of the basilica extends 58 meters in length, 15 meters in width, with a dome reaching 23 meters in height.

The initial construction of the basilica dates to the 16th century, but Napoleon's forces destroyed it during the Peninsular War in the early 1800s.

The basilica houses the Black Madonna statue from the 10th century, which stands above the altar area and receives visitors throughout the year.

The basilica remains accessible through public transportation from Barcelona, with cable cars and rack railways providing transportation up the mountain.

Wooden sculptures of prophets Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Daniel, carved by Josep Llimona in 1896, stand on the central columns.
