And the Minceta tower, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Dubrovnik, is the real-life setting of The House of The Undying.

Tour company, Lawrence of Morocco, put together a map of every real life location used throughout the filming of the series to inspire travellers to take their own Game of Thrones tour.
