Montserrat in Barcelona, Spain, is becoming a popular pilgrimage site for Koreans. Known as the 'sacred site of Catalans', it features a monastery that houses the 'Black Madonna', believed to work miracles. The mountain inspired architect Antoni Gaudí, evident in his designs such as Casa Milà. Montserrat has a deep history, including legends of early religious practices and the Madonna's apparitions in 880 AD. Visitors often come to see the boy's choir performance and touch the Madonna's hand, hoping for healing miracles.
