Montserrat from a distance, rising from the plain
The Montserrat monastery
Another view of the monastery
Looking down towards one of the shrines
In the courtyard, looking up
Looking up again
Statuary and natural grandeur
A little train to ferry tourists around
Elaborate stone carvings amid the brickwork
Entrance to the church
Charles V, Emperor of Montserrat
A breath-taking view
Self-explanatory sign in three languages: Catalan, Spanish, English
