Oslo, Norvegia
The iconic Montserrat in Catalonia, is an exquisite site to visit. At 1236 meters high, this fairy tale like the spiritual retreat is the highest point of the Catalan lowlands. Surrounded by a natural park and shaped by nature’s elements, the Montserrat rock formations are a must see sight, if not for religious reasons then simply for the breathtaking panoramic views across Catalonia.it is believed that in the ninth century four of the Chapels were built on Montserrat Mountain (St Mary's, St. Iscle's, St.Peter's and St. Martin's). It is believed that these were inhabited by hermit Monks who lived a solitary life of prayer. Today only one of these Chapels is still standing - St.Iscle.
