Michael McCann Aug 11, 2010:
A cartuja or charterhouse is a monastery of Carthusian monks, with the most famous one in London. Is your text about the restoration of such a one at Torrecilla de Valmadrid, outside of Zaragoza? The following link names everything about this village, but fails to mention either monks, a monastery or a charterhouse. See http://www.pueblos-espana.org/aragon/zaragoza/torrecilla de ...

agree Richard Boulter : This is what I find in dictionaries. We'd need more context to know if we need to look at technical variations. But if this were right for your context, then the query is actually not 'technical' or 'construction' is it, though the doc may be, ? Regards
