All the hermitages of Montserrat
Seeking the spiritual places
Long day-long activity brings us closer to the efforts of those pilgrims seeking forgiveness of their sins if they were able to visit the thirteen hermitages in Montserrat. It includes the ascent to Montserrat's highest point, Sant Jeroni.
The presence of hermits in Montserrat for a thousand years has contributed to its spiritual prestige, which is intensely publicized by all travelers who have visited the mountain over the centuries. In 1811 Napoleonic army destroyed the monastery and the hermitages. The upheaval of the 19th century meant the disappearance of the hermits on the mountain, but we can still perceive the spiritual peace these people sought.
