The Andalusian capital served as a prominent filming location for the acclaimed television series, “Game of Thrones.” Specifically, the Alczar of Seville was utilized to represent the Water Gardens of Dorne, the seat of House Martell. Scenes depicting the Dornish court and its intrigues were staged within the historic palace’s walls and gardens.
The selection of this location brought significant benefits to the city’s tourism sector. The show’s global popularity led to a surge in visitors eager to experience the real-life setting of the fictional Dorne. This influx of tourists provided a boost to the local economy, benefitting hotels, restaurants, and tour operators. Furthermore, the exposure helped to solidify the city’s reputation as a desirable travel destination.
