Has anyone seen Ridley Scott's Crusade epic "Kingdom of Heaven?" Is it true that some interior and exterior scenes were filmed in the deserts of Southern Spain and Morocco?

Hi Agent Sands!

I haven't watched the movie yet, but I will .

Some scenes have been shot in Spain indeed:

Cantabria: Orlando Bloom's homeland



Liam Neeson in Huesca (Aragón)

Ávila (Castille & Leon)

The city of Jerusalem is "Palma del Río" in Córdoba and some scenes were shot in Seville too.

The dessert and battles scenes were shot in Morocco.

The horse saddles, armours, swords, crosses, and some costumes were made in Spain as well. They also ride spanish thoroughbred horses.

How very cool that some of the scenes were filmed in Spain!

I'm taking my husband to the movie this weekend to see this film; now I will enjoy it even more, because I get to travel virtually to Spain too!
Graciñas, MM!

Hola damas y caballero. Watch the Ridley Scott helmed epic "Kingdom of Heaven." It is a great film with a universal message as timely as today's headlines. I could have sworn that the interior shot of King Baldwin the Leper's palace took place in the Alcazar in Sevilla. I am planning to watch the film again perhaps this weekend. I can't wait to see those places where the movie was filmed, particularly Aragon and Cantabria. Hopefully, Hollywood will do a remake of the classic Charlton Heston film, "El Cid" with Ridley Scott as director in the future.

What I meant is that Bloom's homeland is Cantabria in the real life... the scenes were shot in Cantabria.
The film "The Others" takes place in the Channel Islands (UK) but it was filmed in Cantabria too.

It seems Spain is a favorite place for filmmakers to shoot their movies. Most of the Italian Westerns that were popular in the mid-60s such as Sergio Leone's immensely popular Man With No Name trilogy starring Hollywood superstar Clint Eastwood were shot in the arid Tabernas desert region in Almeria. David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia was filmed their as well. Anyone else remember classic or recent Hollywood or British films that were shot in Spain?

Here's my list

1. Wind and the Lion- Sean Connery
2. The Ninth Gate- Johnny Depp
3. The Mercenary- Franco Nero
4. Return of the Magnificent Seven- Yul Brynner
5. Siesta- Ellen Barkin

1. Star Wars 1 & Star Wars 2 (Spain's Naboo Planet)
2. Lovecraft's Dagon
3. The Bridge of San Luis Rey
4. Conan
5. Flesh & Blood
6. The Others
7. 1492 The Conquest of Paradise
8. Patton

Not really, Amleth.
Only Star Wars II was filmed in Seville, in Plaza de España.
Episode I was filmed in Italy and Tunisia

You're right deibid, it's Star Wars II only.
