Large production filming in Valencia usually takes place in the City of Arts and Sciences. Where open spaces and large walkways allow for easy filming. Shooting in the old town, La Ciutat Vella and El Barrio del Carmen therefore sets new challenges to production. Valencia will be one of the main stages for filming, along with other locations in the UK, Italy, and Mexico. The main hub of film and production for this project is in the Jardin del Turia. Between El Puente de la Exhibición and El Puente de las Flores to be precise. There you can find the filming tents and an army of guards limiting access to the cast of the production.

Restrictions for filming

Filming crews and large vans set up throughout El Carmen make the small roads hard to navigate. El Paseo de la Alameda was temporarily out of action for filming. Areas around el Palacio de Malferit, Calle Caballeros, and Calle San Miguel have been shut down. La Plaza del Doctor Collado, where the Falla for Citadel will be, will also be inaccessible until 9 October. The hotel Astoria, now going by the name Only You is another location for the filming of Citadel. Parking isn’t allowed and large vans with tinted windows help provide a private zone for the actors.
