Spaghetti Western Location – The Church of Santa Maria

 

The interior of the church scene where Indio called together his gang in “For a Few Dollars More” was filmed in the Church of Santa Maria in Turillas, Spain. The church was in a state of ruins and was abandoned. Sergio Leone gave the church enough money to completely rebuild it after filming was finished. To this day they hey refer to him as Saint Sergio.

  1. How many directors do you know that would donate most of their Hollywood money to remodel a church? Sergio Leone made that happen because that's the kind of man he was. Great work on his part. Thank you, Sergio. Thank you.
