El Escorial - Royal Palace Private Apartments of Philip II

The Hall of Battles leads into the private apartments of Philip II, laid out round the Patio de los Mascarones (Court of Masks) at the east end of the church. The most interesting rooms are the Alcoves of Philip II, from which he had direct access to the church and in which he died on September 13, 1598; the "Cell of Philip II", with Hieronymus Bosch's "Hay Wain" (possibly a copy) and eleven watercolors attributed to Albrecht Dürer; the Throne Room; and the apartments of the Infanta Isabel Clara Eugenia.
