The Flemish influence on the ambitious building program of King Philip II of Spain focused the interest of some reseachers. But the inheritance from the Emperor Charles V and his predecessors of the Crown of of Castile was much wider, and since the early times of King Alphonse X the Wise these influences were in evidence in the royal country estates and their buildings. Our research analyses these influences in the surrounding properties of the Monastery of San Lorenzo of El Escorial, where King Philip II developed an outstanding set of palaces and estates for both hunting and resting far from the Court. The Spanish monarchs made use of these royal estates until Mendizabal’s disentailment in 1836. ; La influencia flamenca en la actividad constructora de Felipe II ha sido objeto de atención por parte de varios estudiosos. Sin embargo, la herencia recibida tanto por parte del Emperador como de otros antecesores suyos en el reinado de Castilla, desvela numerosas pautas de actuación que se remontan al reinado de Alfonso X el Sabio y que aún son evidentes en sus palacios, fincas y pabellones de caza. Nuestra investigación examina los restos de tan relevante patrimonio histórico, y desvela estas influencias en el entorno del monasterio de El Escorial, donde Felipe II consolidó un importante y extenso conjunto de residencias de descanso y cazaderos que fue utilizado por los monarcas españoles hasta la desamortización de Mendizábal.
