Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey to be exact😛. The line to the black Madonna was literally out the door:

 

Even if you don't get to the statue it is worth visiting just for the views:

Agree a lot of cover bridges in America ... I thought head north of the large fruit

was a state north of New York State.... so googled bridge photos in Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire....

 

Don   now with second cuppa

[getting older slowly]

Number of Covered Bridges  out of interest

In the USA  about 12000

 

By State

Vermont  about 100
Maine about 120

New Hampshire   54

New York State 29

 

These numbers were from google search...

 

So it is one of those....lol     Cheers Don

Correct, your go.

[getting older slowly]

Does the bridge in the photo have a red roof ???

 

Why Covered Bridges

To have somewhere to stand in the out of the rain

To give Tourists something to photograph 

To look cool

To stop people in RV's crossing the bridge

To slow the bridge timbers rotting  / weathering.... to last longer

 

Don

[MicCanberra]

Yes.

It was also to allow the trolls an easier way to catch goats.
