Among the classic hiking trails in Montserrat, one of the most interesting is the Path of Prayer leading to the Holy Cave. You can cover part of the route using the Santa Cova funicular (one-way price 2.20 euros; round-trip 3.50 euros), but you still have to walk part of the way.
The road is easy, flat, wide and fenced. It was built in 1691-1704. The construction was associated with incredible financial costs and difficulties associated with a large elevation difference, which is why the people also call this road "silver".
The Path of Prayers or the Path of the Rosary. The rosary is a prayer during which believers reflect on the sacraments corresponding to certain gospel events. There are three types of sacraments: joyful, glorious and mournful.
As for the Montserrat Rosary, it is a series of religious sculptures located along the path leading from the Montserrat monastery to the chapel of the Holy Cave.
Please note that the project of one of the glorious sacraments - the Resurrection of Christ, was developed by Antoni Gaudi. However, during the work on the work, financial difficulties arose, as well as disagreements with the abbot over where the figure of the resurrected Christ should be placed. Because of all these troubles, Gaudi stepped aside from participating in the project, and the work was completed without him.
Already in our time, after the restoration work, which included the movement of the figure of the resurrected Christ in accordance with the Gaudí project; the restoration of the observation deck and the bench - the composition gained, conceived by Gaudi, the meaning.
The Path of Prayers is a great place to walk with views of the valley and the Monastery.
In addition, this is a good opportunity to look inside yourself .. .
