Goya's Birthplace

Monument · Fuendetodos, Campo de Belchite, Zaragoza

The Casa Natal de Goya, in Fuendetodos (Zaragoza), is the house where the painter Francisco de Goya was born in 1746, and today functions as a museum, with furniture and household items in the Aragonese style, reproductions of his works and documentation about his life. After the painter's birth it passed through various hands and became the village inn, until in 1913 Ignacio Zuloaga and other artists located a plaque identifying it; Zuloaga bought it in 1916. In 1982 it was declared a national historic-artistic monument and its restoration began; the museum opened to the public in 1985. It is a house of typical village construction, with three floors joined by a staircase, and in 1996 an annexed temporary exhibition hall was inaugurated.
