Montserrat (Catalan pronunciation:
[munsəˈrat]) is a multi-peaked rocky
range located near the city of
Barcelona, in
Catalonia,
Spain. It is part of the
Catalan Pre-Coastal Range. The main peaks are Sant Jeroni (1,236 m), Montgrós (1,120 m) and Miranda de les Agulles (903 m).

It is well known as the site of the
Benedictine abbey,
Santa Maria de Montserrat, which hosts the
Virgin of Montserratsanctuary and which is identified by some
[2] with the location of the
Holy Grail in
Arthurian myth.
"Montserrat" literally means "saw (
serrated, like the common handsaw) mountain" in
Catalan. It describes its peculiar aspect with multitude of
rock formations which are visible from a great distance. The mountain is composed of strikingly
pink conglomerate, a form of
sedimentary rock. Montserrat is Spain's first National Park.
In 1493, Christopher Columbus named the
Caribbean island of
Montserrat Santa Maria de Montserrate, after the
Virgin of Montserrat.
