Girls get to see Goya

Spanish monks have eased a 900 year ban on women entering their monastery outside Zaragoza, which had prevented them from seeing frescoes painted by Goya.

The monks have accepted a local government proposal to build a special entrance which will allow women into the building without being seen by the monks.

Until now, only three women -- including a member of the royal family - have seen the frescoes.
