Montserrat is Catalan for "Serrated Mountain." A 1,236 meter high mountain made up of truly weird rock pillars of limestone, pebble, and sand, shaped by wind, rain, and frost. The historic Benedictine Monestir de Montserrat is one of Catalunya's most important shrines. The monastery is nestled in the rocky crags of this sacred mountain. It houses the famous Black Madonna (La Moreneta), Catalunya's official patron. The monastery is also famous for its boy's choir, while the mountain is famous for its hermits.
