I live in King's Landing!
It just came to me. I live in King’s Landing!
I live in the place where the Game of Thrones was filmed. The streets where I grew up are the streets depicted in the popular TV series. Just like once Dubrovnik was the capital of The Dubrovnik Republic, King's Landing is the capital of Westeros and the Seven Kingdoms. Amazing scenes you all had the pleasure to see are filmed around the city of Dubrovnik. My beautiful city is guarded by walls, just like the royal capital and it is surrounded by sea, sun and amazing medieval architecture.
I started watching Game of Thrones and at one point realized the city I see is my hometown. What a discovery! Here you’ll find the MinĨeta Tower as the House of the Undying, the city of Quarth filmed mostly on the island of Lokrum, the King’s Landing green gardens in the village Trsteno, and in Dubrovnik the city’s pier, The Red Keep, the Blackwater Bay and many other parts of King’s Landing. You can relive scenes from the show by visiting some of the filming locations.
There are special Game of Thrones walking tours with expert guides who are also big fans of the show, and some of them have even participated in the filming as extras. D.B. Weiss, the writer of Game of Thrones said: "To find a full-on, immaculately preserved, medieval-walled city that looks uncannily like King's Landing, where the bulk of our show is set, that was, in and of itself, just such an amazing find".
And I add, to be living and breathing every day in the city that represents King’s Landing is a great privilege. A city with amazing history got even more attractive to discover because Game of Thrones left their mark here.
So I invite you to visit us and walk the paths of Westeros...
Where you can even have a chance at participating in filming as a stunt, or, who knows; maybe even a Knight! (http://bit.ly/1lCf9yS)
