About Monserrate Palace

As a refuge for writers, Monserrate lured tourists from all over the world, especially the British, who were especially enamored by its beauty, immortalizing it in engravings and memoirs. When the wealthy British entrepreneur and exceptional art collector, Francis Cook, came here in the 18th century, he fell in love. The Park and Palace of Monserrate, a Romantic masterpiece, emerged from this ardor.
