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.
After leaving the Madonna, look into the altar chapel (El Cambril). It was created in 1876-1887. under the guidance of the architect Francesc de Paula del Villar y Lozano, who was assisted by the young Antoni Gaudi - it was Gaudi who developed the main part of the decorative elements. The eclectic style of the chapel is considered the forerunner of Catalan modernism.
Then you will find yourself in a space called the Way of Ave Maria.
This is the outer space of the basilica, bounded on one side by the wall of the temple, and on the other by the rock. If you are a believer, then you can put a candle here and pray.
