The map bears a printed statement reserving ownership to the Monastery of Montserrat: “És propietat del Monestir de Montserrat”, linking the publication directly with the religious community at the heart of the mountain. Close hachuring brings out the intricate ridges at a scale of 1:20,000. This second edition of 1928 updates the original 1909 map to reflect the changing ways visitors reached and explored Montserrat. Its listed additions include the Ferrocarrils Catalans railway, which reached Monistrol in 1922, and the Sant Joan funicular, a cable-hauled railway running on tracks, opened in 1918 and enlarged in 1926. Two aerial cable-car routes also appear: the Sant Jeroni line, which opened in 1929, and the link from the Ferrocarrils Catalans railway to the monastery, opened in 1930 as the Aeri de Montserrat. Their inclusion anticipates those openings rather than demonstrating that both were operating in 1928. The additions also name the private road to Can Martorell and the paths of Sant Joan, Sant Jeroni and the Degotalls, recording the meeting of traditional walking routes and modern mountain transport.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54274903572827,"sku":"P-8-007269","price":160.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-8-007269a.jpg?v=1791486279","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/products\/montserrat-mountain-joan-cabeza-topographical-walking-map-catalonia-1928-p-8-007269","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
