RE: Montserrat, Spain - Photography
It's so nice. Beautifully captured. Beautiful quality. Beautiful buildings and nature. :)
I wonder what types of rocks are those. With that vegetation it's probably limestone or sandstone.
Paging @gavvet???
Rock consultation pls
oh my gosh!
you just made me miss that country a great lot!
The Montserrat mountain actually has conglomerate as its main type of rock. If I remember correctly from my geology classes, conglomerate is a mix of many different stones of different sizes that have been lithified due to pressure. I don't think it was easy to carve out stuff from that type of rock, so making the cloister up there must have been very difficult.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, valth. You're right and it has layers too.
It was probably not only hard but also took a very long time. Like hundreds of thousands of years.
I was not expecting this too. How places can surprise us. Amazing
