Seven Gates

Highlight • Trail

It is time to open and CLOSE the gates so that the cattle do not escape.

Located in the old Royal Forest of El Escorial and now located in private pastures after the Confiscation of Madoz, it was built by order of Philip III at the beginning of the 20th century. XVII. Today abandoned, it presents us with the persistence of its walls and its granite chimneys, today occupied by stork nests that rest, as the members of the Court did four centuries ago, towards the Royal Site of El Escorial or the Granja de San Ildefonso.
