It has basically an entire benzene ring,

It's been a while since I took organic chemistry, but isn't that literally just a benzene ring?

Meh, it's a benzene ring but with the hydroxyl and other groups on, it is a diminished benzene ring, the inter-ring bonds aren't quite as stable as a pure aromatic ring.

Has to do with the electron bonds having slightly longer lengths than in their 1.5 configuration. The difference is prety minor.
