Monistrol de Montserrat
Monistrol de Montserrat (Catalan pronunciation: [munisˈtɾɔɫ də munsəˈrat]) is a municipality in the comarca of the Bages in
Catalonia, Spain. The municipality includes the southern two-thirds of the massif of Montserrat
and the famous Benedictine monastery of the same name. The town, known as Montserrat-Vila, is situated on the
eastern flank of the massif above the valley of the Llobregat river: it is connected with the monastery (higher up) and
with the railway station in the valley (FGC line R5) by a rack railway
(Cremallera de Montserrat). The C-1411 road links the town with Martorell and Manresa. The bridge over the
Llobregat river dates from the fourteenth century. The municipality includes a small exclave to the north-west.
