Mural, Basilica, Santa Maria monastery, Montserrat
Mural in the atrium of the Basilica of the Benedictine Abbey Santa Maria de Montserrat, Montserrat, Catalonia, Spain. The mural depicts the visit of John of Austria, 1547-78, to Montserrat and was painted by Francesc Fornells-Pla in 1957 in a naive style. Hermit monks first settled on the sacred mountain of Montserrat in 900 AD and the monastery was founded in 1025. It was destroyed in 1811 during the Napoleonic wars and rebuilt, along with the basilica, in 1850. Picture by Manuel Cohen
