There’s a palace in Spain built by a king obsessed with death.
He buried his dynasty there.
Shaped it like heaven.
And filled it with silence, shadows, and symmetry.
But that’s just one marvel. Here are 21 places in Spain that will leave you stunned... 🧵
We begin with the palace of the dead:
El Escorial, Madrid (1584)
Built by Philip II to mirror divine order.
A monastery, royal tomb, and once the largest building in the world.
Still called the “eighth wonder of the world.”
La Sagrada FamĂlia, Barcelona (begun 1882)
GaudĂ lived on-site in his final years.
He died before its completion—143 years later, it’s still unfinished.
