Seat of Philip II

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this natural observatory the monarch contemplated the development of the works of the Monastery.

From here you can perceive that the Monastery has the shape of an inverted grill, in homage to San Lorenzo, who was martyred in one of them back in the year 258, since it is located on a small hill from which the Guadarrama Valley and the Sierra de Navacerrada.
