Library- The Library in el Escorial is one of the most important ones in the world. Consisting of around 45,000 volumes from the 15 th and 16 th century in which many were the private collection of the King, and over 5,000 manuscripts in Spanish, Latin and Arabic. The walls and ceilings are decorated with frescos by Tibaldi, and are related to the sciences and learning.
