Description
The gardens of El Escorial, near Madrid Spain, is a fascinating place.
The Escorial is a vast building complex located in San Lorenzo de El Escorial, near Madrid, in central Spain. The building is the most important architectural monument of the Spanish Renaissance. Construction of El Escorial began in 1563 and ended in 1584.
The project was conceived by King Philip II, who wanted a building to serve the multiple purposes of a burial place for his father, Holy Roman emperor Charles V; a Hieronymite monastery; and a palace.
The building complex, severe in its lines, has four principal stories with large towers at each corner.
Arranged within a quadrangle, the buildings include:
the church (1582);
the monastery, royal palace, and college (1584);
and the library (1592).
