Herreria - Calzada Romana

Roman 1

Secondary route that probably confluted with the Cercedilla Street. It consists of a series of paved sections which, over two kilometres, appear at regular intervals. The best preserved section is the southernmost, with almost 8 meters in length; it has an irregular binding made up of very worn and smooth large granite slices, with small mojones pointing to its side edges.

Chair of Philip II

The chair of Philip II is called a set of steps and other elements carved on a granite canchal at the foot of Las Machotas. According to tradition, he served as an observatory to Philip II during the construction of the monastery of El Escorial, although research carried out in the late 20th century pointed to a pre-Roman origin or even to a historic recreation of the 19th century.
