The "Black Madonna" near Barcelona refers to La Moreneta (the Dark One), a revered 12th-century wooden statue of the Virgin Mary at the stunning Montserrat Monastery, a major pilgrimage site in the rugged mountains about an hour from the city, famous for its dark complexion (due to varnish/smoke) and status as Catalonia's patron saint, drawing crowds daily to touch her hand for blessings.
