Montserrat is known as the ‘sacred mountain’ – a magical Otherworldly place located in the heart of Catalonia, Spain. It is a sacred site steeped in mysticism and has drawn millions of pilgrims for centuries.

According to legend, the Black Madonna appeared in a vision in the cave of Santa Cova in 880CE. Shepherds saw a great light fall upon the mountain, accompanied by a beautiful song that sung out across the land. A week later the vision came again and continued for several weeks on the same day. People were drawn to the site and were guided to a cave where they found a statue of the Black Madonna. The local Bishop at the time believed it to be a divine sign and decided that she must be worshipped at Montserrat.
