The Carthusian monasteries of Zaragoza
The Carthusians are special people. They decide to spend their life in silence and solitude, but live in communities with other recluses like themselves. For this reason Carthusian are very special monasteries, which are not like any other, and in Zaragoza there were no fewer than two.
In one of those, the Aula Dei, there are still monks, although they are on the point of leaving. Their name is known throughout the world for one reason: it was Goya who painted the enormous frescos in the church.
