The chapel was the only one of the thirteen dotted around the mountain which was not destroyed when Napoleon conquered Spain. It dates back to the 11th century nearly.
January 2011-June 2011. So far I have spent the last five months as Gap student at the Escolania de Montserrat, near Barcelona, Spain. The chance came last Summer on a school choir trip; as any choir enthusiast out there should know, such an opportunity to stay in Montserrat should not be missed! Being Spanish myself and never having set foot in Catalunya with its cultural wealth was a big plus. What better way to explore architecture, photography, history, art and new cultures!
