Historic Andalucia site closed off to public for Game of Thrones filming

A HISTORIC site in Andalucia has been closed off to the public for the filming of Game of Thrones.

The Roman ampitheatre in Italica, in Santiponce, Sevilla, will be awash with cast favourites from the hit fantasy show until May 18.

Last year, scenes in the ruins, or the ‘Dragonpit’, saw the largest ever gathering of characters in the series’ history.

The eighth and final season of Game of Thrones will not air until 2019.

There will only be six episodes.
