Residência histórica do Rei da Espanha, El Escorial é um vasto complexo arquitetônico que abriga um mosteiro, uma basílica, um Palácio Real e um Panteão, além de uma escola, um hospital, uma biblioteca, um museu e uma universidade.
The Monastero di San Lorenzo is the religious centrepiece of the complex, alongside La Granjilla de la Frasneda, a monastic retreat five kilometres away. Built in the 16th Century by reigning King Philip II - the site’s only Royal resident - El Escorial first housed a community of Hieronymite monks. The building became a Monastery of the Order of Saint Augustine.
The complex sits at the foot of Mt Abantos, about 45 kilometres from the country’s capital, Spain. A grand edifice on the site commemorates Spanish victory over France in 1557. First broken ground in 1563 the building was finally completed in 1584
A UNESCO WOrld Heritage Site since 1984, El Escorial is visited by over half a million tourists a year.
