Montserrat Monastery with Black Madonna Access & Audio Guide

Your experience

Discover Montserrat independently, with timed access to its most revered icon, La Moreneta, and plenty of flexibility to explore the sanctuary before or after your reserved slot.

Getting started

Head to the Montserrat Information Office and have your ticket ready for validation. Your selected time applies specifically to your visit to the Black Madonna, so make sure you arrive at the sanctuary with enough time before your slot.

If you select the transport upgrade, travel from Barcelona by FGC train and continue from Monistrol de Montserrat to the sanctuary aboard the rack railway.

What to expect

Black Madonna

Enter the Throne of Our Lady at your reserved time to approach the 12th-century Black Madonna, one of Catalonia’s most important religious icons.

Museum of Montserrat

Explore one of Montserrat’s major cultural spaces, with works by artists including Caravaggio, El Greco, Picasso, Dalí and Monet, alongside archaeological collections from the ancient world.

Espai Audiovisual

Discover Montserrat through an audiovisual experience centred on its three defining elements: the mountain, the monastery and the sanctuary.

Explore independently

Use your audio guide, map and informative booklet to discover the sanctuary and its history at your own pace.
