Walking around Seville sometimes you get the feeling of being on an outdoor set. The city averages 300 days of sunshine a year, offers a natural light that any director would dream of and offers spectacular locations, many still to be discovered.
The current collective imagination, the one that is built thanks to cinema and television, keeps a multitude of images of Seville. In fact, many people around the world have already «visited» Seville and do not know it.
That makes your visit to Seville an even more impressive experience. Where have I seen this monument before? When have I ever walked this way? The place I dreamed of exists!
For years, Seville has been the setting for films and series. Many national productions have been filmed in the city, such as Nadie Conoce a Nadie, Grupo 7 or Carmen, as well as outstanding international titles such as Lawrence of Arabia, Kingdom of Heaven, The Dictator or Knight and Day.
But perhaps the stars that shine the brightest in cinematic Seville are the «Palace of the Kingdom of Naboo», from Star Wars, and the «Palace of the Kingdom of Dorne», from Game of Thrones, or put another way: the Plaza de España and the Real Alcázar of Seville.
