Escorial \Es*co"ri*al\, prop. n. [Prop. Sp. escorial, i. e., a
   hill or heap of rubbish, earth, and stones brought out of a
   mine, fr. escoria dross of metal, L. scoria, fr. Gr. ?. Cf.
   Scoria.]
   A palace and mausoleum of the kings of Spain, being a vast
   and wonderful structure about twenty-five miles northwest of
   Madrid; called also escurial. It was erected in 1563-1584
   and contains a monastery.
   [1913 Webster +PJC]

   Note: The ground plan is said to be in the form of a
         gridiron, the structure being designed in honor of St.
         Lawrence, who suffered martyrdom by being broiled on a
         gridiron; but the resemblance is very slight. It is
         nearly square, inclosing several courts, and has a
         projecting mass which stands for the handle.
         [1913 Webster]
