Spaghetti Western Location ~ Elios Studios, Rome, Italy


Originally called Helios this studio became the center for the making of Spaghetti westerns from the mid-1960s until the end of the genre. It was situated northeast of Rome and had soundstages and a complete western town set.

The town set was easily to pick out when seen in westerns. One side of town had a large building usually used as a warehouse on one end of town and on the other a church with a huge bell tower that was easily detectable from any other church.

Today nothing remains of the set and the studio itself is now owed by Titanus
