A 15th century castle in the town of Simancas, in the Valladolid province of Spain.
The following
Knightmare scenes were filmed at Simancas Castle:
Team 1 of Series 7 found the entrance locked.
Fidjit demonstrated his unique and frankly amazing skill of using a
key to unlock the door, claiming that Simon would only make a mess of it.
Just inside the wall is the
Level 1 courtyard where
Team 2 of Series 7 rescued
Romahna from
Sylvester Hands. It was seen again when
Team 3 restored Fidjit to his human form, after
Sidriss had turned him into a
toad.
This Level 2 clue room, featuring a bust of Charles V (Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain), was only seen during the first quest of
Series 7. To the right is the "patio" (inner courtyard) where a portal was found.
Castillo de Simancas now houses the Spanish national archives and is only open to researchers. Click
