Santa Cova de Montserrat

Between 1896 and 1916, a series of sculptures were placed along the camí, dedicated to the rosary and the 15 mysteries of the Virgin, including works by Antoni Gaudí, Josep Puig i Cadafalch and other modernista artists.

According to legend, on a Saturday evening in 880, two young shepherds observed a great light descend from heaven and settle halfway up the mountain of Montserrat.

The vision continued to repeat in later weeks, even when the boys brought the rector of Olesa de Montserrat.

The situation was worsened the following autumn, when heavy rains caused a mudslide and further damaged the chapel and access trail.

While repairs were undertaken that winter, a heavy downpour in the autumn of 1995 caused the lantern to collapse into the dome, both of which fell into the chapel.
