Title | Scenographia totius fabricae S. Laurentii in Escoriali. |
Bird's-eye view of the Real Sitio de San Lorenzo de El Escorial (monastery residence El Escorial), the seat of the Spanish monarch Philip II near Madrid. From the atlas "Parergon" from 1595, with poems in praise of the Spanish king and a title cartouche below. Translation of the reverse: This building, almost unique in the world, is a monastery inhabited by Hieronymite monks, but also a royal palace and a hunting lodge, so charming and beautiful that it is in no way inferior to the seven wonders of the ancient world. The most beautiful gable of the monastery is on the west side, where it has three gates or doors, the centre one being the most beautiful and giving access to the church, the monastery and the chapter. | |
