Funicular Sant Joan

Funicular de Sant Joan, Sant Joan Funicular Railway
Spain, Costa Brava
The funicular of Sant Joan was built to connect the outer part of the monastery territory with the hermitage of St. John. The funicular began its movement in 1918, and in 1997 restoration work was carried out and new modern cars were put into operation. The train travels 503 meters, its upper station is 1000 meters above sea level. The station is equipped with an observation deck, which offers a magnificent view of the monastery and surrounding areas.

There are two funiculars on Montserrat mountain: Funicular de Sant Joan and Funicular de Santa Cova. The funicular Sant Joan connects the central part of the monastery of Montserrat with the hermitage of St. John. The funicular moves almost along a sheer cliff, its route has the steepest slope of all funiculars in Spain (the maximum gradient is 65%). Great views from above + the opportunity to walk along one of the hiking trails of Montserrat. If you have time, then you can also go down to the Monastery on foot.
