<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 860770, member: 39&quot;]That is an excellent place for tourists who want to see the Escorial as a whole. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The site is called <i>Silla de Felipe II</i>, as mentioned on the note, which means Chair of Philip II. It is a big rock, a few kilometers away from the Escorial, which has some seats &quot;carved&quot; into the stone.</p><p><br /></p><p>Seems that Philip went there when he wanted to see how the Escorial (the note shows the complex in the background on the right) was constructed, and how far they had gotten. <a href="http://100falcons.wordpress.com/2008/12/14/el-escorial/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://100falcons.wordpress.com/2008/12/14/el-escorial/" rel="nofollow">http://100falcons.wordpress.com/2008/12/14/el-escorial/</a> However, the &quot;chair&quot; may be of pre-Roman origin ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
