\nMontsec Astronomical Park\n<\/h2>
\n

Both day and night, the experience of visiting the \nMontsec Astronomical Park\n<\/strong> is always stunning.<\/p>

This astronomical observatory is located in Montsec<\/strong>, where it is said that one of the cleanest and least polluted skies in Catalonia and all of Europe.<\/p>

The visit begins with the central building of the COU, which houses a permanent exhibition that encompasses the various outstanding areas and obviously astronomy, but also the geology, fauna and flora of the Montsec environment play a role.<\/p>

Next, the visitor can enjoy the \"Ull del Montsec<\/strong>\", a digital multimedia planetarium with a mobile dome 12 meters in diameter, where an audiovisual show is projected.<\/p>

At night the session is completed with an explanation of the firmament and subsequent opening of the dome to observe the real sky and identify, with the help of a specialized monitor, some of the most outstanding elements of the night.<\/p>

Finally, both during the day and at night, you can visit the Telescope Park<\/strong>. During the day the sun is observed and at night, the moon, the planets, the nebula.<\/p>\n<\/div>
