The Most Enigmatic Building in Spain: San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Madrid

"The Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial. Considered for centuries the Eighth Wonder of the World, this place is much more than a monastery: it's a palace, basilica, library, school, and royal pantheon.

In this video, I'll take you on a tour of what many consider the most enigmatic building in Spain. A project of Philip II, built at the height of the Renaissance, when the Spanish Empire was the greatest power on the planet." from the video introduction
