El Escorial, located near Madrid, Spain, is a grand historical complex comprising a royal palace, basilica, monastery, library, and mausoleum. Built under King Philip II between 1563 and 1584, it has grown into a symbol of the Spanish monarchy's power and devotion to Catholicism.

As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it draws visitors worldwide, offering insight into Spain's Golden Age and the cultural and political ideals of the time of the Spanish Renaissance.
