Charterhouse of Aula Dei
Charterhouse of Aula Dei, Gothic monastery near Peñaflor de Gallego, Spain.
The Charterhouse of Aula Dei stands 10 kilometers north of Zaragoza, featuring an enclosed monastery designed to accommodate thirty-six monks within its stone walls.
Archbishop Hernando de Aragón established this monastery in 1563, but it closed in 1836 during the Mendizábal Reforms until French Carthusian communities repurchased it in 1901.
Francisco Goya painted eleven large frescoes depicting the Life of the Virgin between 1772 and 1774, with seven remaining pieces decorating the monastic church.
The Chemin Neuf Community now manages the monastery, offering weekly access to visitors who wish to view the historical frescoes and architectural elements.
The monastery was built to house three times the standard number of Carthusian monks, making it an exceptionally large complex for its order.
