Experience El Escorial in an exclusive way with a guide just for you.
In this Private Tour to the Monastery of San Lorenzo you will live a unique experience in this jewel of the Spanish Renaissance, World Heritage Site and symbol of the power of Philip II.
Erected in the 16th century by order of Philip II, this monumental complex was considered for centuries the Eighth Wonder of the World. Its mixture of royal palace, monastery, pantheon and library makes it a unique space, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
The tour begins in the Basilica, the spiritual heart of the complex, and continues through the majestic Hall of Battles, decorated with frescoes narrating the military victories of the Hispanic monarchy. You will also enter the palatial rooms, which preserve the solemnity of the court of the Golden Age.
One of the great treasures of the complex is its library, with more than 45,000 volumes and a collection of ancient manuscripts that make it one of the most valuable in Europe. Its frescoes and history make it a temple of Renaissance knowledge.
The most overwhelming moment comes in the Pantheon of the Kings, where the Spanish monarchs rest from Charles V and Philip II to the nineteenth century. The solemnity of the place conveys like few others the weight of history and the greatness of the Hispanic Monarchy.
