Our Lady of Montserrat

Our Lady of Montserrat Church in Tortuga is well known for its interesting architecture, the panoramic and breathtaking view of the Gulf of Paria and most of all, for the wooden figure of the Black Virgin. The original statue brought by the Capuchin Missionaries was not a replica of the original statue found in the Basilica of Our Lady in Montserrat in Spain. Instead, it is an image built by a Spanish saint maker in the Spanish Colonial Art Style. Two statues were sent to Trinidad, the first being the original statue placed in Tortuga by the Archdiocese of Port- of-Spain. The second statue was placed in ‘safe keeping’ and has not been found to date. No one knows the exact date when the statue was brought to Tortuga.
