Castleton is a village in high-peaked Derbyshire, home to one of the oldest lead mines, and it became The Vale of Arryn in the show. (Game of Thrones<\/em>\u00a0fans may remember this as the home of House Arryn and the Eyrie, a castle where enemies can be pushed to their death through a moon door.) The area first settled by Celtic people is known for its classic English hamlets and its central national park that\u2019s home to Cave Dale, a limestone valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rocky tidal island of St. Michael\u2019s Mount features a medieval church from the 12th century and an intimate living community that is linked to the island of Marazion by a causeway that tourists can reach by foot when the tide is low. The island\u2019s main castle serves as the\u00a0House of the Dragon<\/em>\u2019s fictional Driftmark (home of House Velaryon) in Blackwater Bay, the large body of water at the edge of Kings Landing. Driftmark was previously featured in\u00a0Game of Thrones<\/em>\u00a0during the Battle of the Blackwater.<\/p>\n

The municipality La Calahorra in eastern Granada is reimagined as Pentos, one of the cities adjacent to the seas of Westeros, the fictional continent at the center of the\u00a0Game of Thrones<\/em>\u00a0world. One of its staple landmarks, Castillo de La Calahorra, is a medieval castle that\u2019s situated on the area\u2019s only hill at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Acting as the seat of House Targaryen on\u00a0House of the Dragon,<\/em>\u00a0the castle\u2019s exterior defies the conventions of Gothic architecture, making it one the first Renaissance-inspired structures built in Spain between 1509-1512.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
