The Escorial, a monumental architectural masterpiece, stands tall in the municipality of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Madrid, Spain.
Commissioned by King Philip II of Spain, the Escorial was meticulously designed by renowned architects, including Juan Bautista de Toledo and Juan de Herrera, and served as a royal palace, monastery, and mausoleum.
Its construction began in 1563 and spanned over two decades, culminating in a magnificent complex that harmoniously blends Renaissance and Baroque architectural elements.
The Escorial symbolizes the power and reign of Philip II, who envisioned it as a testament to his faith, the strength of the Spanish Empire, and the unity between the monarchy and the church.
