The fortress used in El Condor

Western Leone was originally built to film Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West (1968);^[2] the large red house, around which many of the scenes in the film revolve, is maintained as an attraction, along with other buildings of a Western town.^[3] It has also been used to film other Spaghetti Westerns.^[2]

In 1970, a fortress was built a short distance from Western Leone. This structure was used as a set for El Condor and later films. The fortress had fallen into disrepair by 1986.^[4]

As of March 2022, it is for sale 2.5 million euros (86.000m2).^[5]
