Where was House of the Dragon filmed? The Castle & ALL the Filming Locations

If Game of Thrones was headquartered in Belfast, Northern Ireland, the new show is based in England.

Several sections of King's Landing were built practically in massive sets at the Warner Bros. Leavesden Studios near London.

In GoT, the cities of Dubrovnik in Croatia and Girona in Catalonia were primarily used as King's Landing.

In the new series, a couple of towns in Extremadura, Spain, also featured in GoT's Season 7 are returning for exterior shots of the capital.

The main square of the picturesque town of Trujillo swapped the modern cars and the statue of local conquistador Francisco Pizarro for medieval carts, stalls, and a dragon's monument.

In the first episode, "The Heirs of the Dragon", there is a pivotal scene filmed in another city near Trujillo.

The brutal Prince Daemon's City Watch night scene took place at Santa Maria Square, where is located the cathedral, in Cáceres Old Town.

Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this city boasts one of the best-preserved medieval walled towns in the world.

-Dracarys! The cremation ceremony where Rhaenyra orders dragon Syrax to light the pyre was filmed at St Catherine's Tor near Hartland Quay in Devon, UK.

The sequence starts with a view of Screda Cove. The walls of King's Landing and the Red Keep in the background were digitally added to the scene.

The jousting tournament was filmed at the studios with plenty of CGI thrown in.

The King's Landing gardens that appear for the first time in the second episode, "The Rogue Prince", were filmed at Santa Clotilde Gardens in Lloret de Mar, Catalonia.

Completed in 1926, this elegant Noucentist estate is located on a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

The scene on the bridge leading up to Dragonstone was filmed at the studios using a new technology similar to Stagecraft, first seen in The Mandalorian.

The close-ups with the actors were filmed on set with 3D images of the location projected onto ultra-high-resolution screens. The rest is all CGI.

As seen in Game of Thrones, the real location of the bridge is the path that connects the Gaztelugatxe islet on the coast of Biscay in the Basque Country (Spain).

King Viserys great hunt in the third episode, "Second of His Name", was filmed in a large set built at Caesar's Camp in Aldershot, located between the counties of Surrey and Hampshire in southern England.

The Sea Snake's army meeting in the Stepstones was shot at Kynance Cove in Cornwall, as the local press reported.

The Stepstone's battle against the Triarchy forces led by the Crabfeeder was filmed at the Eldon Hill Quarry in the Peak District National Park in Derbyshire.

In the fourth episode, "King of the Narrow Sea", after sneaking out of the castle after dark, Rhaenyra and Daemon attend a play in the streets of the city.

This scene was filmed at the House of the Sun or of the Solis, located in Caceres's old town.

The scene in the Vale of the fifth episode, "We Light the Way", was filmed at Cave Dale, a valley in the Derbyshire Peak District near Castleton.

The castle in the background was CGI'd into the scene.

The High Tide castle, the ancestral seat of House Velaryon on the island of Driftmark, was filmed at St Michael's Mount in Cornwall, the beautiful southwest region of England.

This Cornish counterpart of the famous Mont-Saint-Michel in Normandy is a historic rocky island crowned by a medieval church and a castle.

St Michael's Mount has a small tower, but the production designers CGI'd the Neo-Gothic tower of Butrón Castle in Gatika, Basque Country, to the scene.

Also in episode five, "We Light the Way", Rhaenyra and Ser Laenor take a stroll on Holywell Bay’s beach in Newquay, near St. Cuthbert’s Cave.

This location also appears in other episodes as the beach at Dragonstone castle.

The castle in Pentos where Daemon and his wife, Laena Velaryon, are staying in the sixth episode, "The Princess and the Queen", is the 16th-century La Calahorra Castle in Andalucía, Spain.

This Renaissance fortress with the beautiful interior square courtyard was also featured in the 2016 Assassin's Creed movie.

The scenes in the streets of King's Landing from episodes eight and nine, "The Lord of the Tides" and "The Green Council", were filmed in Cáceres.

The Dragonpit exterior was filmed at St. George's Square, removing San Francisco Javier church digitally.

The scene pictured from the season finale, "The Black Queen", was recorded at the 12th-century Castle of Monsanto in Portugal, near the Saint Michael Church Ruins.
