Montserrat Abbey: The Symbol of Catalan Culture



Explore Montserrat Abbey at your own pace with this convenient audio guide, accessible directly on your smartphone.

Montserrat Abbey, a site of profound cultural and historical significance in Catalonia, is nestled within the dramatic landscape of Montserrat Mountain. For nearly a millennium, it has served as a destination for pilgrims and visitors alike.

Renowned for housing La Moreneta, a revered ancient statue of the Virgin Mary, the Abbey also boasts a rich tradition of scholarship and musical excellence, exemplified by the Escolania, one of Europe's oldest choir schools, established in the 14th century.

The panoramic vistas from Montserrat Mountain offer exceptional hiking opportunities, with trails steeped in history and folklore. This comprehensive audio guide will lead you through the key highlights of Montserrat, providing insightful commentary on the Abbey's historical, religious, and cultural importance to Catalonia.

Interesting but very basic information. The description states that the tour lasts 1.5h, but the total audio voice over time lasts approx 15 minutes. Information you can find in Wikipedia. I would extend the content and add more information about the Basilica, and other important sites of the area.
