I VISITED A MINDBLOWING UNESCO SITE IN MADRID.
The Monasterio de San Lorenzo de El Escorial, located near Madrid, Spain, was commissioned by King Philip II in the 16th century.
It served as a royal palace, monastery, and burial site for Spanish monarchs. The architectural style is primarily Herrerian, reflecting the Renaissance ideals of order and symmetry.
Construction began in 1563 and was completed in 1584, symbolizing the power and religious fervor of Spain during its Golden Age. The site is also recognized for its vast library and significant art collection.
Today, El Escorial is a UNESCO World Heritage site, drawing visitors for its historical, architectural, and cultural significance.
