Quinta del Sordo (English: Villa of the Deaf One), or Quinta de Goya, was an extensive

Francisco de Goya, where he painted 14 murals known as the Black Paintings.[3] Contrary to popular belief, the estate was given its name due to the deafness of a prior owner, not Goya himself, who was deafened by illness in 1792.[4] The house was demolished in 1909.[3]
