The Philosopher's Study

Type of room: Standard

During the period of medieval mysticism, King Alphonse X, “The Wise”, opens a fascinating philosophical and cultural window to the world of knowledge, thanks to his translations of Persian literature, Greek philosophy and Arabic medicine. But the whole monarchy was not so receptive to other philosopher’s ideas, so often they were persecuted by making public their thoughts. In our Philosopher’s Study a way of escape has been planned, a secret tunnel he could use in case of danger. Contemplate your thoughts by reading the many works of wisdom, placed within the bookshelves and in the twin beds’ headboard.
