Explore the Valle de Cuelgamuros, previously known as Valle de los Caídos. It's located in the Sierra de Guadarrama near San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Madrid.

With your priority entry ticket, you'll gain access to this remarkable site, constructed between 1940 and 1958. The complex boasts an underground basilica stretching 260 meters in length, a monastery, and a towering cross that stands at 150 meters high - the tallest of its kind globally.

In 2022, the site was officially rechristened as Valle de Cuelgamuros and designated as a place of recognition, commemoration, remembrance, and homage to all victims of the Spanish Civil War. This visit promises an architectural spectacle, but also a powerful reminder of Spain's historical past.
