The Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial is the monument that best sums up the ideological and cultural aspirations of the Spanish "Golden Age", expressed here through an original synthesis of Italian and Flemish artistic forms at the behest of Philip II. Grouping together several functions in one building, San Lorenzo el Real was created as a monastery for the monks of the order of St. Jerome, whose church served as a pantheon for Emperor Charles V and his wife, Isabella of Portugal, as well as his son Philip II and their relatives and successors, and where the friars prayed continuously for the salvation of the royal family. It also has a palace to house the king, as patron of the foundation, and his entourage. The college and seminary complete the religious aspect of the Monastery, and the Library was established for these three centres. This layout is, to an extent, still in place today. The figure of Charles V is decisive in the founding of this Royal Site because of how much he influenced his son's beliefs by spending his last years amongst the Hieronymite monks of Yuste and because of the need to give him a worthy burial. Once he had decided to found the monastery, Philip II began to look for a location in 1558 and the decision was made at the end of 1562, with work beginning according to the design or "universal drawing" of Juan Bautista de Toledo. In 1571, the convent part was already more or less finished; the "king's house" was started in 1572 and the Basilica in 1574, finished in 1586 and consecrated in 1595, the date that can be considered the end of the Work, although the last stone had been placed in 1584 and the decorative work took several more years. The king carefully supervised all the construction work. The Monastery was isolated in the middle of the countryside, with only a few service buildings for the palace and the monastery: the two buildings for religious services and the entourage. But Charles III ordered the creation of a small elegant town to be planned by the architect Juan de Villanueva, who was able to adapt his Italian classicist training to the nationalist spirit that El Escorial came to represent for the culture of the Spanish Enlightenment. His works notably include the Casa de Infantes and the Ministro de Estado.
