This is the interior of the Basilica of the Black Madonna of Monterrat.
The Black Madonna is the Patron Saint of Catalonia, an honour she shares with Saint George. The statue is situated behind the high altar above the cross. You can see the silhouettes of visitors.

The Black Madonna of Montserrat was believed to have been carved in Jerusalem at the beginning of the religion. It is a wooden sculpture. It is one of the most famous Black Madonna statues in the world and in 1844 Pope Leo XIII declared the Virgin of Montserrat the patroness of Catalonia.
