| Description |
A church for God, a monastery for the Jeronymite order, a palace for the king, a tomb for the Royal Spanish dynasty, and a temple for science. All that, and much more, Philip II planned for the monument intended to perpetuate his glory for centuries to come, San Lorenzo de El Escorial.
The final aspect, the temple is science, is undoubtedly the one that has received least recognition on the part of scholars and historians throughout the ages, despite the significance of the chemical practice developed in the pharmacy and distillation laboratory founded by the King in 1570s..
The monastery/palace of El Escorial will serve as a backdrop and co-host of this International Conference on Science and Nature in Early Modern Europe. The conference seeks to bring together Spanish and international scholars of science to discuss various topics relating to recent developments in the history of alchemy.
