Picture of Montserrat Virgin, La Moreneta in lavish decorated sanctuary . Montserrat is considered one of the special “power spots†of the world. Electromagnetic fields are said to be strong here, and healing powers are attributed to the small dark figure — if one touches her or the orb she holds in one hand. The image of Our Lady of Montserrat, popularly known as La Moreneta (the Dark One), due to the dark colour of Her skin, is a truly beautiful 12th century Romanesque polychrome carving. the image is enthroned in a silver altarpiece, paid for by popular subscription and installed in the upper section of the basilica apse.
