Game of Thrones is the popular television series based on George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” novels.
Where is Game of Thrones Filmed?
Northern Ireland: Many scenes were filmed in Northern Ireland, particularly in and around Belfast. The iconic King’s Landing scenes, as well as the Stark family’s ancestral home, Winterfell, were primarily filmed here. Castle Ward in County Down served as the exterior of Winterfell, while various locations across Northern Ireland were used for other scenes, including forests, castles, and coastlines.
Croatia: The city of Dubrovnik served as the primary filming location for King’s Landing’s exterior scenes. The city’s medieval walls and architecture provided the perfect backdrop for the fictional capital of the Seven Kingdoms. Other locations in Croatia, such as Split and Šibenik, were also used for filming.
Spain: Several locations in Spain were used for filming “Game of Thrones.” The region of Andalusia, particularly the city of Seville, was used for filming scenes set in the fictional city of Dorne. The Alcázar of Seville, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was prominently featured as the Water Gardens of Dorne.
Iceland: The breathtaking landscapes of Iceland were used to depict the icy and desolate landscapes beyond the Wall. Locations such as the Svínafellsjökull glacier and the volcanic region of Lake Myvatn provided the perfect backdrop for scenes set in the frozen North.
Malta and Morocco: In earlier seasons, Malta and Morocco were used for filming certain scenes, including those set in Essos and King’s Landing. However, as the series progressed, these locations were less frequently utilized.
Overall, the diverse landscapes and architectural wonders of these locations contributed the epic scale and visual richness of Game of Thrones.
