Spaghetti Western Locations

We continue on our search for filming locations for “Return of the Seven”. While Chris and his gunfighters removing the guards who control the hillsides surrounding the work camp, the priest of the deserted church confronts Francisco Lorca the man who is holding the peons captive with the men from his hacienda. The priest has asked Lorca for help in rebuilding the church and the village. Lorca wants to build it as a shrine to his two dead sons not for the sake of the church and the villagers.


The location of the church and village is in Agost where only an open, barren field remains today to show where the action was filmed. A few buried foundations, scraps of wood and brick can be found lying around under bushes and topsoil.


For a more detailed view of this site and other Spaghetti Western locations please visit my friend Captain Douglas’ excellent website: http://www.western-locations-spain.com                               and Yoshi Yasuda’s location site: http://y-yasuda.net/film-location.htm               
 
 
[Captain Douglas has dedicated and entire section of his website to “The Return of the Seven” with behind the scenes photos and stories, highly recommended.]
