The Goya Murals in the Cartuja de Aula Dei (Ciclo pictórico de la Vida de la Virgen de la Cartuja del Aula Dei, 1774) are a cycle of mural paintings on the Life of the Virgin by Francisco de Goya, realised in secco (i.e., painted in oils directly onto the wall surface), in the church of the Charterhouse of Aula Dei (Spanish: Cartuja de Aula Dei) near Peñaflor de Gállego on the outskirts of Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain.
They were an important early commission for Goya, who was not yet thirty.
