El Escorial Monastery

Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial: Admission + Guided Tour

The Royal Site of San Lorenzo de El Escorial has been considered by some to be the "Eighth Wonder of the World," both for its size and its immense symbolic value. This guided tour is designed to show you some of the rooms in this world-famous monastery and tell you what took place within its walls. Discover why Philip II, King of Spain (1556–1598), chose this site at the foot of the Sierra de Guadarrama as you tour the basilica, the Hall of Battles, the pantheon—where the kings are buried—the palatial chambers, and even the famous library. This is where Philip II kept his books and spent hours reading!
