EDITORS COMMENTS
Basílica de la Santa Cruz del Valle de los Caídos (Holy Cross Basilica of the Valley of the Fallen) is a remarkable architectural masterpiece located in the town of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, within the autonomous community of Madrid, Spain. Built between 1940 and 1959, this basilica is a tribute to the fallen soldiers of the Spanish Civil War and those who died during the Carlist Wars. The entrance to the basilica is a grandiose sight, with its massive doors framed by intricately carved stonework. The basilica's architecture is a unique blend of neoclassical, baroque, and modernist styles, reflecting the various influences that shaped its design. The most striking feature of the basilica is the granite cross that sits atop its dome, reaching a height of 150 meters. The cross is visible from miles around and serves as a symbol of hope and remembrance for the many lives lost in the conflicts that led to its construction. The Valley of the Fallen, where the basilica is located, is a peaceful and reflective place, surrounded by the beautiful natural scenery of the Guadarrama Mountains. Visitors to the basilica can take in the breathtaking views of the valley from the terrace, adding to the sense of tranquility and contemplation. The Basílica de la Santa Cruz del Valle de los Caídos is not only an architectural marvel but also a significant historical and cultural landmark, attracting visitors from around the world who seek to pay their respects and reflect on the sacrifices made by those who came before us.
