Welcome to our online shop, where you can discover exclusive sculptures of Our Lady of Montserrat, handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail. We offer two unique variants: sculptures carved from fine natural maple wood and hand-painted sculptures, each reflecting the essence and sacredness of ‘La Moreneta’.

The Madonna of Montserrat, affectionately called ‘La Moreneta’ because of the dark colour of her face, is a fundamental pillar in Catalan culture, representing a profound symbol of faith and regional identity. Contrary to what some may think, her colour is not a reference to African Madonnas, but adds an element of mystery and charm that makes her particularly special. In 1881, Pope Leo XIII named her the patron saint of Catalonia and instituted a festivity in her honour every 27 April.

The monastery of Santa Maria de Montserrat, which rises majestically on the mountain of the same name 720 metres above sea level, is not only a centre of great spirituality, but also a pilgrimage destination and an important tourist site. This Benedictine site is a beating heart of religious and cultural activities, a symbol of the pride and spirit of the Catalan people.
