  Cinevilla

  🇱🇻 Latvia

  cinema-purposed area in Tukums Municipality, Latvia

  “The outdoor scenes were shot at the 8.5 hectare Cinevilla backlot in Tukums, Latvia, where parts of Riga's Old Town and Riga's Pārdaugava district were built especially for Defenders of Riga.” Wikipedia

Also per Wikipedia's Production section

Wikipedia’s Production section names 1 more place. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, so these are listed apart, never mixed into the statement list, and the claim links straight to where it came from.

Places whose own article says it was shot there

1 place whose own Wikipedia article names this film as something shot there, where Wikidata records nothing and this film’s own article does not say so either. The weakest evidence on this atlas: no pin on the map, and nothing in the downloads. Each sentence is quoted whole and linked to the article it came from, so it can be judged rather than taken on trust.

• Cinevilla Latvia

  “Originally created for the outdoor filming of the historical feature film Defenders of Riga, it has since evolved into one of Northern Europe's largest outdoor backlots and a film production facility.” Wikipedia
