The Madrid town of San Lorenzo del Escorial, a Historic-Artistic Complex, arose around the El Escorial Monastery. This beautiful architectural complex, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, was ordered to be built by Felipe II in the XNUMXth century to commemorate the Battle of San Quintín. Little by little, an urban layout was consolidated around it, as aristocrats and bourgeoisie of the capital built their summer residences here. It is, in short, an elegant town with a rich monumental heritage surrounded by mountains and forests. You have all the information in: «El Escorial - Madrid«.
