more singular rural quarter of the Aragonese capital, known with the name of Carthusian order Goes down. Diverse sensations experience to to cover his streets. The largeness of the space, the calm that floods the ambience, the smell of burned firewood that sometimes is perceived, us they evoke the peculiar delight of the rural world There, in his heart, we contemplate the ancient buildings that in due time were dependencies of silent Carthusian monks and that now are an ambience of residence of the neighbors. There we can walk along his routes, earlier claustral galleries for which the religious ones strolled. There, in what it was a courtyard of an enormous cloister, we see to play to children on the ground destined for the rest of the friars.
The foundation of the Carthusian order of the Blessed Virgin Concepcion, more young of Spanish Carthusian orders, owes don Alonso de Funes and Villalpando to itself, riding nobleman zaragozano, Councilor of the Hospital of San Felipe and Santiago and Deputy of the Kingdom, who in his testament showed his will to found a Carthusian monastery in Aragonese grounds.

There is worth, undoubtedly, visiting the quarter of the Low Carthusian order, not only for the delight and calm that his streets come, but also and especially to contemplate this most curious and singular case of Carthusian order "absorbed" by the town planning of the city (of which, for true, only another similar example is in Europe), and to remember the ancient splendor of the monument.
