Despite being a tyrant, Phillip II was an intelligent man that fostered the sciences and promoted all of this art and made the chapel the center of the palace so he could attend mass while ill. Uh huh. Sounds like a tyrant. I mean do these people even listen to themselves?
He was a very cultivated man. If you dont take into consideration the historical context you could perfectly claim any monarch was a tyrant at that time. Its silly to judge the past according to our current moral standards.
@@divadfeb1959 Well... I dont have the pleasure of knowing your country so I dont know much about your education system. But from what is happening now it seems to me that we are facing very similar problems in Europe. It is very sad but we have a major cultural problem. I dont know where is this path going to take us...
WHAT A MARVELOUS VIDEO, REVIVE HUMAN FAITH, AND FILL OUR SPIRIT WITH INFINITE LOVE FOR OUR CREATOR.

Great place for a run! Spectacular views!
Dan Brown brought me here! :D
interestingly, the Escorial was one of the first places the word " corridor " was used.
It's quite austere compared to Spain's other palaces and great public buildings.
¿Tyrant?
La musica tanto como el escorial me fascina, que musica es?
It's the same theme as the vaginal screeches of the three graces...!!!
El Escorial ?, San Lorenzo de El Escorial
Its NOT a castle.... its a monastery

@@Guillermopianista well said. Sadly, the American education system seems to have failed its people.
