The Emperor lived in the Monasterio de Yuste from 1557 until his death in 1558, after which his remains were transferred by his son Felipe II to El Escorial near Madrid. Today Hieronymite monks occupy the monastery and only his royal chambers and the chapel, with a pleasing 15th-century Gothic cloister and walnut choir stalls in the Renaissance style, are open to tourists. Take note of the Emperor’s easy chair. He had a penchant for spicy German foods and heavy beers that would incessantly inflame his gout. Here he would retire for hours on end to endure the pain.
