Explore Montserrat Abbey and its remarkable surroundings at your own pace with an entrance ticket and a convenient audio guide accessible directly on your smartphone.
Begin your visit at the Information Office and discover the most important sites of the Sanctuary through the Open-Air Museum, accompanied by a downloadable audio guide. Visit the Throne of Our Lady, home to La Moreneta, the revered statue of the Virgin Mary, and explore the Audiovisual Space “Montserrat Portes Endins,” which reveals the history and significance of Montserrat through three central themes: the mountain, the monastery and the sanctuary.
Your ticket also includes entry to the Museum of Montserrat, home to one of Catalonia’s most important art collections. Admire works by artists including Caravaggio, El Greco, Rusiñol, Casas, Picasso, Dalí and Monet, as well as archaeological treasures from the Ancient Near East, Egypt and the Holy Land. Temporary exhibitions complement the permanent collection.
As you explore, your audio guide provides engaging commentary on Montserrat’s nearly thousand-year history, religious traditions and cultural importance. Discover the story of the Benedictine monastery, its musical heritage and the Escolania, one of Europe’s oldest choir schools, while taking in the dramatic mountain landscape and its historic hiking trails.
