About this experience
A Game of Thrones tour!
Step into the world of ancient Rome in one unforgettable experience. Join us as we visit the legendary Dragonpit, the dramatic setting for the pivotal summit in Game of Thrones Season 7 — filmed among the breathtaking ruins of Itálica.
But Itálica is more than just a filming location. Founded in 206 BC, it was the first Roman city in the Iberian Peninsula and the birthplace of two great emperors: Trajan and Hadrian. The site offers a remarkable journey through history, where fiction and reality collide.
Explore the amphitheatre, the third largest in the Roman Empire, once capable of holding 25,000 spectators. Stroll through ancient Roman streets lined with stunning mosaics and well-preserved domus (Roman houses).
Whether you're a Game of Thrones fan, a history lover, or both — this tour is your backstage pass to one of Hollywood’s most iconic scenes and a deep dive into the grandeur of the Roman Empire.
