Santa Maria de Montserrat
Funicular de la Santa Cova
The Santa Cova hermitage is perhaps the most famous one in Montserrat. It is said to be the place where the image of the Virgin of Montserrat, also known as La Moreneta, was discovered in the 12th century. If visiting the Santa Cova, there is a funicular which copes with the steepest part, although its lower stop is a bit far away from the Santa Cova itself. It is very useful on the way back as it's uphill.
This funicular connects the monastery and an upper viewing point. The upper viewing point is at the junction of three hiking trails: they connect to the monastery, to the hermitage of Santa Magdalena, and to the Sant Jeroni summit.
Ermita de Sant Joan
The hermitage of Sant Joan is perched atop a hill and provides panoramic views of the mountain. It's a popular spot for hikers and offers a peaceful atmosphere for contemplation.
This hermitage is located on a hillside and offers breathtaking views of Montserrat and the surrounding areas. It was constructed in the 16th century but has undergone renovations over the years. Today it is a mountain refuge.
It has likely existed since the 14th century, serving as a place of solitude and worship for hermits and pilgrims. Offers the most spectacular views. It's a challenging hike to reach it, but the panoramic vistas of Catalonia are worth the effort.
