Monastery of El Escorial in Madrid: photos, reviews

About

The Escorial Monastery was conceived as an indestructible stronghold of the Spanish monarchy, with space not only for royal quarters and receptions but also for God. To this day, the building remains an unofficial symbol of faith in a religion that should accompany every political step and decision made.

Interestingly, the monastery was built according to a special principle - all the best quality materials were sourced from various corners of Spain and brought to the site. The architectural complex is designed in a square shape in the style of the old Renaissance, including a church, palace, internal courtyards, and the monastery itself. Inside, tourists can see a large number of paintings, books, and even manuscripts.

Me ha encantado visitar el monasterio con mis hijos, lo que me ha permitido darle un perfil cultural a nuestras vacaciones. Muy recomendable si se pretende añadir a la diversión de otras actividades, un componente cultural y de formación.

Una joya a nivel mundial aqui en Madrid. Los guías estupendos y bien organizados, nos sacaron de un apuro a los muchos que habíamos comprado visita en Inglés sin darnos ni cuenta y con todos los detalles y anécdotas que hacen interesantes una visita. En este lugar se respira historia pura de España con prácticamente todos los reyes enterrados allí. El entorno casi idílico en plena sierra Madrileña, no se puede pedir más, visita obligada para los que visiten nuestra comunidad.
