Passage in Spanish monastery lets women see Goya art MADRID, Spain (Reuters) - Spain's Queen Sofia inaugurated a specially built passageway Wednesday in a 16th century monastery that allows women to see nearly a dozen Goya frescos for the first time. The corridor was built at the Aula Dei monastery, near Zaragoza, Spain, to change a centuries-old ban on women aimed at protecting the celibate life of the monks. Before the passageway was built, visitors passed through the monks' living quarters to see the frescos painted by Francisco de Goya in the 18th century. Women could only view the artwork, which depicts scenes of the Virgin Mary's life, after receiving special papal approval.
