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.

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.
