Deserted Film Sets Frozen in Hollywood History
23. Almería Spaghetti Western Town Sets, Spain: Echoes of Ennio
Beyond just Sad Hill Cemetery, the Tabernas Desert in Almería, Spain, was the heartland of Spaghetti Westerns in the 1960s and 70s. Several complete Western town sets were built, such as "Texas Hollywood," "Mini Hollywood," and "Western Leone." While some now operate as theme parks with stunt shows, they retain many original structures from classic films. Other, lesser-known sets have fallen into greater disrepair. These dusty, sun-baked towns collectively stand as enduring monuments to a legendary film genre, where cinematic cowboys once roamed.
