Montserrat

Montserrat is a mountain near Barcelona, in Catalonia, Spain, the site of a Benedictine abbey, Santa María de Montserrat, where the Black Virgin is enshrined. The Virgin of Montserrat is a statue of the Virgin Mary and infant Christ venerated at the Santa María de Montserrat monastery. It is one of the black Madonnas of Europe, hence its familiar Catalan name, la Moreneta ("The little dark-skinned one"). Believed by some to have been carved in Jerusalem in the early days of the church, it is a Romanesque sculpture in wood from the late 12th century.
