Description

Join the other delegates and plenary speakers on a guided tour of the El Escorial. A visit to the Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial is the best way to travel through the history of Spain and especially the reign of Philip II. With an area of 33,327 square meters, it is located on the southern slope of Mount Abantos at an altitude of 1028 meters in the Sierra del Guadarrama, which gives it a high landscape value. The Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial has been on the World Heritage List since November 2, 1984. The Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial is the monument that best summarizes the ideological and cultural aspirations of the Spanish "Golden Age", expressed here through an original synthesis of Italian and Flemish artistic forms at the urging of Philip II.
