埃斯科里亚尔修道院建于公元16世纪末，位于环境优美的卡斯蒂尔。整个修道院的设计采用长方形格子结构，这样的设计是为了纪念殉难的基督教徒圣劳伦斯，因为他当年就是被这样的刑具折磨致死的。这种简朴且与以往截然不同的建筑风格影响了西班牙半个多世纪。这里还曾是一位神秘国王的隐居之所。到菲利普二世统治后期，这里成为当时最强大的政治力量中心。

Built at the end of the 16th century on a plan in the form of a grill, the instrument of the martyrdom of St Lawrence, the Escurial Monastery stands in an exceptionally beautiful site in Castile. Its austere architecture, a break with previous styles, had a considerable influence on Spanish architecture for more than half a century. It was the retreat of a mystic king and became, in the last years of Philip II's reign, the centre of the greatest political power of the time.
