The seventh season of Game of Thrones harbored a variety of intriguing reveals for fans throughout the world. Although widely speculated, it was finally disclosed that Jon Snow is a Targaryen. The Wall of Westeros came tumbling down, the White Walkers have an incredible dragon monster, Arya put an end to Littlefinger, and a scorned Jaime Lannister traveled north. The final season isn’t scheduled to air until 2019, so diehard fans have to find other ways to quench their GOT fantasies — like traveling to filming locations across the globe!

Seville, Spain
The Royal Alcazar is regarded as one of the most beautiful sites in Spain and was registered as a World Heritage Site in 1987. The location first appears in season two of Game of Thrones as the Water Gardens of Dorne and continues to pop up throughout the show. The exterior of the palace is truly astonishing, dating back to the mid-1300s, as it’s a perfect mixture of Christian and Moorish architecture.
