Technical part. Access to the Black Madonna of Montserrat is limited (from 8:00 to 10:30 and from 12:00 to 18:30). The passage to it does not go through the main entrance to the church, but on the side of it - through the right door. Montserrat Madonna. For the dark color of her face, she was nicknamed “Nigerushka” or “Darkie” (La Moreneta). The current wooden Romanesque statue of the Black Virgin on display in the Basilica dates from the late 12th century. Here, anyone can bow to the Saint by touching her right hand and ask for the very, most secret.
