HBO is going to film some of the 6th season scenes of 'Game of Thrones' in one of the most beautiful sites of Barcelona: the Santa Florentina castle, located in Canet de Mar. It was not a very famous site for either locals or tourists until HBO set their eyes on it.
HBO is also going to film some other scenes in the Bardenas Reales of Navarra, the Alcazaba of Almería, Peñíscola and the Zafra castle in Guadalajara.
The Santa Florentina castle was built in the 11th century on the remains of a Roman 'domus'. The castle has changed ownership and appearance a number of times through the centuries, but it wasn't until the end of the 19th century that Modernista architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner began the its restoration and expansion. He included decorative motives from the period, including: stain-glass windows, marble floors, carved wooden ceilings as well as traditional Modernista materials like ceramic and wrought iron. The final result is a medieval castle with a clearly Modernista style.
