“Additionally, scenes set in Marcus Licinius Crassus' villa were filmed at Hearst Castle.”
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Hearst Castle 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.
- Spartacus 1960
-
Commando
1985
“The barracks that are "attacked" are actually beach properties belonging to the Hearst Castle estate.” Wikipedia
Named here by Hearst Castle’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Hearst Castle, 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.

Spartacus 1960
“Stanley Kubrick's 1960 film Spartacus used the castle to stand in as Crassus' villa, and in 2014, Lady Gaga's music video for "G.U.Y." was filmed at the Neptune and Roman Pools.” Wikipedia
