In the northern part of the Dehesa de Navalvillar,
Spain under the direction of the production designers Jaime Perez Cubero and
Jose Luis Galicia, a fort (Fuerte Laredo) was built for the films “Seven from
Texas” (1964) by Joachim Romero Marchent. It is an imposing structure (70 x 35
meters), surrounded by a sturdy palisade of logs up to seven meters high, with
a large internal courtyard, watering troughs and various wooden buildings,
which then appears in another film by the same director , “Seven Hours of Gubnire”
(1965), and in :Three From Colorado” (1965); “Black Eagle of Santa Fe” (1964); “The
Two Sergeants of General Custer” (1965); “The Fall of the Mohicans” (1965); “Custer
of the West” (1966); “Kill the Wicked” (1967) (in which it appears in a state
of abandonment); “Fort Yuma Gold” (1966); “Gatling Gun” (1968) (the fort
appears to be in ruins); “Duel in the Eclipse” (1968); “Land Raiders” (1969). Very
few traces of this fort remain today: only the concrete bases of two drinking
troughs and some holes in which the largest trunks of the palisade were
inserted. Three hundred meters away, from J.P. Cubero and J.L. Galicia, a large
ranch was built (see Rancho Cubero-Galicia / Dehesa de Navalvillar.)
