Filming locations inside Ávila
1 place inside Ávila, with a page of its own. Every production shot at it is already listed above, because Wikidata records it against Ávila too.
Named here by Ávila’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Ávila, 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.

Chimes at Midnight 1965
“Filmmaker Orson Welles once named Ávila as the place in which he would most desire to live, calling it a "strange, tragic place"; various scenes of his 1965 film Chimes at Midnight were filmed in the town.” Wikipedia
