Spaghetti Western Locations

We continue our search for “Return of the Seven” film locations. As Chris rides through town in the early morning light he picks up Vin, Frank and Colby. After arriving at the prison the now four ride past the entrance to the prison but Delgado is not there and they ride on.



The scene was filmed in Nuevo Baztan a town south of Madrid. The scene of the men passing the entrance to the prison is at the rear of the Goyeneche Palace which is called Plaza de Fiestas.

This location has been used in several Euro-westerns including as for the prison in “The Hills Run Red” and the army headquarters in “The Genius”.

[Captain Douglas has dedicated and entire section of his website to “The Return of the Seven” with
behind the scenes photos and stories, highly recommended.]
