Castillo de La Calahorra is situated in La Calahorra, within the province of Granada, Spain. It is located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Constructed from 1509 to 1512, it was among the earliest Italian Renaissance castles erected outside of Italy. It was designated as a Bien de Interés Cultural monument in 1922. It appeared in the 1974 movie Stardust, as the hideaway of Jim MacLaine, portrayed by David Essex, in the later segments of the film. It also served as a residence in the city of Pentos for the 2022 TV series House of the Dragon. In the film For a Few Dollars More, as Colonel Douglas Mortimer steps off the train in the opening moments, the castle can be seen in the background, to the left of the train. The castle was also prominently highlighted in the 1975 film, The Wind and the Lion. The location is highlighted in various videos by the band KLF, as shown in the documentary 23 Seconds to Eternity. #History #Architecture #Castles
