Game of Thrones Location Update

Dorne: Alcazar De Sevilla, Spain

Former home of Prince Oberyn Martell (RIP) and ruled by the Martell family, Dorne is actually filmed at a royal palace at Alcazar de Sevilla, a royal palace in Spain. Sevilla's Alcazar is the oldest palace still in use in Europe and is made of up beautiful gardens that surround the palace’s 10 buildings. This location was also used in the filming of Lawrence of Arabia.

Pentos: Aït-Ben-Haddou, Morocco

Also known as Daenerys Targaryen's stomping ground. Ait-Ben-Haddou is a fortified city about 60 miles southeast of Marrekech, in western Morocco. Many other famous productions have been filmed here including Alexander, Gladiator, The Mummy, and Lawrence of Arabia.

Hardhome: Magheramorne, Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland is familiar terrain for Game of Thrones fans, but the country still has plenty of untapped beauty for this and future seasons. For instance, Hardhome, known in the real world as Magheramorne, was just introduced to us this season. Jon Snow and the Royal Fleet sail here to convince the locals to come back to Castle Black with them. Without spoiling too much, let's just say it does not go well. However, the location is actually quite beautiful and may soon become the home of a World Cycling Center and the All-Ireland Scuba Diving Centre.

The Vale Of Arryn: Meteora, Greece

While it doesn't appear as often as it did earlier seasons, The Vale of Arryn is still located in an incredible spot. Meteora, Greece is one of the largest of the Greek Orthodox monasteries in the country. Literally meaning "suspended in the air," Meteora comprises six monasteries built on natural sandstone rock pillars.
