Casa de Campo is a large park in the Spanish
capital of Madrid, inside this area are various buildings, including one in the
Andalusian style, with a large column, used as a set in some western films,
including “Torreon City” (1962); “Zorro the Avenger” (1962) (where it looks
like a market); “A Fistful of Dollars” (1964) (represents the interior of the
Rojo hacienda in San Miguel, both in day and night scenes); “Seven Guns for the
MacGregors” (1965), where it represents a hacienda in which several scenes take
place, in particular in the large patio the one in which Robert Woods is
frustrated and that of the final clash in the "noria" (an ancient
agricultural structure, composed of a wheel with small wooden buckets to draw
water) between Robert Woods and Leo Anchoriz, who remains trapped there and
drowns. The building in question, is also used in “The Fury of Johnny Kid”
(1967), “Dynamite Joe” (1967), “Zorro's Latest Adventure” (1970).
It was then radically renovated and today it houses an elegant restaurant.
