Located on the northern slopes of Montserrat, this former 10th-century Benedictine monastery is one of the oldest in the area. Its restored Romanesque church now houses a contemporary art space dedicated to Sean Scully.

Saint CECILIA, to whom this chapel was dedicated, is, among the great circle of saints, primarily responsible - if one can put it so casually at this point - for good sound, because she is the patron saint of church music. Many religious choirs are named after her. The patron saint's day, i.e. her memorial day in the calendar of saints, is on November 22nd.

The Benedictine abbey of Santa Maria de Montserrat [ˈsantə məˈɾi.a ðə munsəˈrat] is located at an altitude of 721 meters in the mountains of the same name, about 40 km northwest of Barcelona in the extreme south of the Bages region. Today, about 80 monks live there according to the Rule of Benedicti. In the monastery, the 12th century depiction of the Virgin Mary "Our Lady of Montserrat", popularly known as La Moreneta ("The Brown One"), is venerated by numerous pilgrims. As an important center of Catalan culture, Montserrat is of great symbolic importance beyond the Catholic Church. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kloster_Montserrat
