Place de la Virgin Mary was designed in 1929 by Josep Puig i Cadafalch. This is where the main facade of the monastery comes out, which was designed by the Catalan architect Francesc Folguera y Grassi, who helped Antoni Gaudí in the construction of the Sagrada Familia.
On the left side of the main facade of the monastery is a beautiful two-tier gallery - a small Gothic cloister.
A series of sculptures in the niches of the arched gallery that encloses the square of the Virgin Mary on the right side is dedicated to the saints - the founders of various religious institutions that have been associated with Montserrat throughout history. From this gallery, or balcony, in good weather, a good view of the river valley and the mountain range with Barcelona's Tibidabo opens.
