The Charterhouse of Our Lady of the Fountains, also known as the Charterhouse of Monegros, is a former monastery located in the municipality of Sariñena, in the region of Monegros, province of Huesca, Aragon. Founded in 1507 by the Counts of Sástago, Beatriz de Luna, and Blasco de Aragón, it is the first Charterhouse built in the Kingdom of Aragon. The current monastery, built in the 18th century, is an impressive architectural complex in the late Baroque style. It is notable for its mural paintings by Friar Manuel Bayeu, Goya's brother-in-law, depicting scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary, women of the Old Testament, and the cardinal virtues.

Not far from the Old Town is Belchite Nuevo, a replica of the original town. Here you can immerse yourself in the culture and gastronomy of Belchite while appreciating the preserved architectural elements, such as the Church of San Martín de Tours and the Clock Tower.

In the past, Belchite Viejo was one of the most prosperous towns in the province of Zaragoza during the early 20th century. Its walls, adorned with Mudejar architecture, housed numerous homes, two convents and several churches. However, its destiny took a dark turn during the Spanish Civil War. Belchite Viejo is known as a “ghost town” due to its terrifying past. It was heavily bombed during the Civil War and was left in ruins as a testimony to the horrors of the conflict. Unlike many other war-torn places, Belchite Viejo was intentionally preserved to serve as a reminder of the devastating consequences of war. Visitors can see the remains of buildings, streets and squares that were once full of life.

This small municipality of Leciñena in the Aragonese Monegros has a small population (1150 in 2004) but quite a bit of history. The town played an important role in the reconquest of Zaragoza. Much later, during the Spanish Civil War it was part of the republican resistance until October 12, 1936 when Franco's troops took the town. The town has a very good hostel where you can enjoy the tranquility. Around Leciñena we can find Sabinas, a tree from the Mesozoic era that, thanks to its properties resistant to extreme temperatures, can coexist with the harsh weather conditions of the area.

Located in the new town of Rodén, it was built in the 20th century and replaced the old church that was in the old town of Rodén, bombed during the Civil War and not rebuilt.
