El Escorial, more than a palace or a monastery, was since the beginning a monument, actually a building built and decorated to commemorate a victory (Saint Quentin), as a filial tribute (from Phillip II to Charles V) and serve as symbol of a family's power (the Habsburgs).

Around Madrid
Madrid Original ® suggests a 2 hours walked guided tour through Bourbons Madrid (1700-1833) around the Royal Palace. From the Count-Duke's Barracks to Saint Francis the Great, most Bourbons monuments in the area will be examined, including the Cathedral of La Almudena. We will see how the different ideologies of the 18th and 19th centuries have inspired the creation or modification of the buildings.

Outdoor tours
Madrid Original ®'s approach for guided visits to the Royal Palace is different from the classical "the-palace-has-2800-rooms". Instead, our guided tours explain why a specific architecture and decoration were chosen for the main residence of Spanish kings.
