Facade of the Basilica & Atrium in Montserrat (+4)
The Atrium of Abbot Argerich is the open-roofed courtyard area that sits directly in front of the Basilica. Five arches lead you to the main area. [see 3 images below + 9 sec vid of church bells ringing].
The marbled black and white floor of the atrium takes inspiration from the floor of the Capitolium in Rome that was designed by Michelangelo. The inscriptions at the centre are Latin and refer to baptism. Summarized from:
