THE STORY OF THE MIRACULOUS BLACK MADONNA OF MONSERRAT, CATALONIA, SPAIN / DISABILITY TRAVEL VLOG

Santa Maria de Montserrat is an abbey of the Order of Saint Benedict located on the mountain of Montserrat, which means 'serrated mountain' of Catalonia, Spain. It is famous for the image of the Virgin of Montserrat. The monastery was founded in the 11th century and rebuilt between the 19th and 20th centuries, and still functions to this day, with over 70 monks. There have always been roughly 80 monks in residence. The monastery is 48 kilometres northwest of Barcelona, and can be reached by road, train or cable car. At 1,236 metres (4,055 feet) above the valley floor, Montserrat is the highest point of the Catalan lowlands, and stands central to the most populated part of Catalonia. Montserrat's highest point, Sant Jeroni, can be reached by footpaths leading from the monastery. From Sant Jeroni, almost all of Catalonia can be seen, and on a clear day the island of Mallorca is visible. #disabledtravel #subscribe #youtube #monserrat Thank you for watching this video.
