Montserrat needs no introduction: Catalonia's most iconic mountain. But at its feet, Manresa hides an impressive Baroque heritage and a thriving cultural scene.
Area highlights
- Montserrat Monastery11th-century Benedictine abbey among rock spires, Catalonia's spiritual center.
- La Moreneta (Black Madonna)The Black Madonna, patron saint of Catalonia, a 12th-century Romanesque carving venerated by millions.
- Manresa Old TownMedieval streets, the Gothic Seu and the cave of Saint Ignatius of Loyola.
- Hiking in MontserratTrails among unique rock formations with views of the Llobregat river and the Bages plain.
The rack railway to Montserrat is an experience in itself. But the trick is to take the funicular up to Sant Joan and walk down via the hermitage path — stunning views and almost nobody around.
