The unique quality conditions offered by the Montsec sky make possible the research, training and dissemination of astronomy carried out by the Montsec Astronomical Park, with activities such as a permanent exhibition, the planetarium or a park.

The PAM has the Universe Observation Center (COU) and the Montsec Astronomical Observatory (OAdM). The COU is a large multi-space and brings the visitor closer to the world of science and the discovery of the Montsec environment. The OAdM is dedicated to research, scientific work and university training in the field of astronomy. The central building houses a permanent exhibition dedicated to astronomy and space sciences.

The center also has the planetarium, which offers projection the Eye of Montsec, a digital installation equipped with a 3D projection system in a complete dome in which, in addition, you can see the sky live. In the Parc dels Telescopis, an outdoor space dedicated to observing the sky, there are three buildings with astronomical domes with two catadioptric telescopes, a refractor, one for observing the Sun, and a set of portable telescopes.
