From the well-known legend recounting the discovery of the “Santa Imatge de la Mare de Déu a la Muntanya” (Holy Image of Our Lady on the Mountain), to the events that led Abbot Oliba to become the founding father of the monastery in the year 1025, including the figure of the hermit. A narrative that places in context the first centuries of life of this Benedictine community, when Montserrat began to emerge as a destination for pilgrimage, while also revealing some of the secrets of a monastic way of life that has remained almost unchanged for a thousand years.
