Fort Saint Elmo is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia article of 1 production — in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on.

“Although the story is set largely in Turkey, production took place almost entirely at Fort Saint Elmo in the Maltese capital Valletta, after permission to film in Istanbul was denied.”

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Fort Saint Elmo 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.

Named here by Fort Saint Elmo’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Fort Saint Elmo, 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.
