Symbol of the greatness of the Spanish Empire, the palace-monastery complex is an impressive construction of great artistic and historical value that houses jewels such as the Basilica, the Pantheon with the tombs of almost all the Kings of Spain since the Emperor Charles V, the Royal Library or the palatial quarters occupied by the various reigning dynasties.

We will visit the interior of the basilica carved into the rock and will admire the grandeur of the monumental complex and the natural scenery that hosts it, a protected natural area of great ecological value and unique scenic beauty.
