Monserrate (named after Montserrat, a hill near Barcelona, Spain) is a mountain that dominates the city of Bogotá, the capital city of Colombia. It rises to 3,152 meters (10,341 ft) above sea level. At the top, there is a church built in the 17th century with a shrine devoted to El Señor Caído ("The Fallen Lord").
The mountain, already considered sacred in pre-Columbian times when the area was inhabited by the indigenous Muisca peoples, is a pilgrim destination, as well as a major tourist attraction. In addition to the church, the summit contains restaurants, cafeteria, souvenir shops and many smaller tourist facilities. Monserrate can be accessed by aerial tramway, a funicular or by climbing, the preferred way of pilgrims.
All of downtown Bogotá, south Bogotá and some sections of the north of the city are visible facing west, making it a popular destination to watch the sunset over the city. Every year, Monserrate and its neighbor Guadalupe attract many tourists (Wikipedia).
