Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Ávila as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

Kingdom of Heaven 2005
Chimes at Midnight 1965
Flesh and Blood 1985
“Flesh and Blood was shot in Spain, in Belmonte (Cuenca), Cáceres and Ávila.” Wikipedia
The Turkish Passion 1994
Theresa: The Body of Christ 2007
“Shooting locations include the Ciudad de la Luz in Alicante, Ávila, Portugal, Trujillo, Soria and Segovia.” Wikipedia

Named here by Ávila’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Ávila, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

Chimes at Midnight 1965

“Filmmaker Orson Welles once named Ávila as the place in which he would most desire to live, calling it a "strange, tragic place"; various scenes of his 1965 film Chimes at Midnight were filmed in the town.” Wikipedia
