Learn more about El Escorial

The imposing Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial showcases Spain's imperial past with its grand architecture and priceless art collections. Explore the historic university town's charming plazas and cafés, then hike nearby Mount Abantos for spectacular views of the Sierra de Guadarrama.

El Escorial was built by King Philip II in the late 16th century to serve as both a royal palace and as the seat of the Catholic Church in Spain.  In addition to the palace the complex includes a basilica, a convent, a school, a library, and a pantheon.  

While El Escorial is impressive from the outside, we actually found it a little austere on the inside.  In many ways it felt more like a fine art museum than a typically elaborate European palace (such as Versailles).  That said, there are some impressive sights, including works by El Greco, Bernini, and Giardini.  The library was also quite beautiful, with richly carved wood shelves, a marble floor, and a colorful fresco ceiling by Pellegrino Tibaldi.

For me, the highlight of the tour was the 180ft long (55m) Hall of Battles – a barrel-vaulted room where the walls were completely covered in frescos depicting Spain's military victories over the Moors and the French.  All aspects of the battle field were portrayed (when you have 180ft, that is quite doable), and the artist employed an interesting trick whereby the more distant, smaller scenes were less saturated, and the background mountains and landscape were set in hues of blue.

Overall I'd say El Escorial is worth a visit, but you probably won't need more than a couple of hours to enjoy it.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in El Escorial?
The best area to stay in El Escorial is directly in the town center, particularly around the Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial.

This central area offers convenient access to the town's main attraction, the Royal Monastery, which dominates the landscape.

It's a compact and walkable area, making it easy to explore on foot.

Couples will find this area particularly appealing due to its proximity to the historic sites and the pleasant ambiance for evening strolls. Staying here allows for easy access to the Monastery for multiple visits, as well as to the Jardines de la Casita del Infante, offering a quiet escape.

For travelers looking for a more relaxed and quiet experience, particularly families, areas slightly uphill from the Monastery, such as those near the Parque de la Casita del Príncipe, offer a more residential feel with views of the surrounding mountains.
