A MEMORABLE VISIT FOR OUR MASTERS STUDENTS !

SAN LORENZO DE EL ESCORIAL: HISTORY, LANDSCAPES, CULTURE AND GASTRONOMY.

Right in the heart of the Sierra of Guadarrama and only 50 Km from Madrid, this lively city opens itself to the world offering the visitor an exclusive architectonic heritage, a privileged natural environment and an unbeatable cultural proposal in the Madrid region.

San Lorenzo de El Escorial has an extraordinarily rich Architectonic Heritage that justifies to a great extent the city’s tourist appeal. The most emblematic and significant building is the Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial that because of its unique character was declared Monument of Worldwide Interest by the UNESCO in 1984.

The Historical Artistic Ensemble of San Lorenzo de El Escorial stands out, a limited and protected area in which overlap magnificent architectonic representations that affirm the evolution of history and of the passing of time from the 16th century to the present. Because of their interest, the buildings designed and planned by Juan de Villanueva in the 18th century also stand out, as well as the buildings of great architects that during the 19th and 20th centuries have contributed to the consolidation of a small and welcoming city that lives between tradition and modernity.

Because of its great tourist, cultural, and social interest we emphasise the different elements that are part of the Spanish Historical Heritage in which, along with the Monastery, stand out several other monuments very much at hand within the small town, such as The Casita del Infante (Prince’s Cottage, now a Museum palace) and The Casa de los Infantes y de la Reina (the Princes' and Queen's House)
