Visit Girona now and feel like you were one of the stars of ‘Game of Thrones’ acting the scenes of the sixth edition of the American series. You will discover the key locations that will appear this season.
Stairs of the Cathedral
For fourteen days the cameras, lights and actors revolutionized this quiet city. Moments that occurred in past centuries were revived in its cobbled streets, a journey back in time where the frenetic atmosphere of the medieval markets and the fighting between noble knights were re-enacted. More than 800 actors and extras were filmed during those days.
Protagonists & extras
During the filming, Girona became the Seven Kingdoms, practically closed to the outside world, to the surprise of the neighbours who live in the medieval city. They could come across the most famous new faces of Hollywood such Maisie Williams, who plays Arya Stark; Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, in the role of Jaime Lannister; Dean-Charles Chapman, the king Tommen, and others: Natalie Dormer (Margaery), Diana Rigg (Olenna), Finn Jones (Loras), Roger Ashton-Griffiths (Olenna), Jonathan Pryce (High Sparrow), Hannah Murray (Gilly), John Bradley (Samwell Tarly) and the producers David Benioff y D.B. Weiss.

THE LAST SCENE took place at the Plaça dels Apòstols of Girona where a tense scene was played. The protagonists: Mace Tyrell (Roger Ashton-Griffiths) and about forty extras performed both the soldiers of the Margaery Family and the army of King Landing.
The plot is unknown since the sixth novel of the series has not yet been published by George R.R. Martin. Not even the Catalans who have participated in the production can tell us anything. In fact, they can face a fine of $150,000 for disclosing confidential information. Therefore, everything around this new season is a secret that you have to discover…
Enjoy Girona! Winter is coming although you still have months left to visit the medieval city!
