   Stop 5

   Another compelling reason why Montserrat consistently ranks among the top five day trip destinations from Barcelona is the presence of the revered statue of Our Lady of Montserrat, also known as the Black Madonna. This iconic statue serves as the centerpiece around which the entire Montserrat Monastery was built. The Black Madonna is renowned worldwide and is believed to have been originally carved in Jerusalem during the first century. During this tour, you'll have the unique opportunity to view the statue from inside the basilica, providing a close and meaningful perspective. Please note that the tour does not include access to the Throne of the statue, but you'll have a significant sight of it from within the church.
