Comino
Maltese island
🇲🇹 Malta · 36.0125, 14.3365
Comino is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 3 productions — in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on.
“Other important scenes were shot in Mellieħa, a small town in the north of Malta, and on the small island of Comino.”
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Comino as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

The Count of Monte Cristo
2002
“Saint Mary's Tower on the island of Comino was used for the exteriors of the Château d'If; the Azure Window of Gozo also makes an appearance in the scenes set on the island of Montecristo.” Wikipedia
-
Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa
2010
“Scenes were shot in places including Valletta, Mdina, Gozo and Comino, as well as in lanes, alleys, eight churches and during the time of a village feast.” Wikipedia
Named here by Comino’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Comino, 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.

Troy 2004
“Comino has been used as a filming location, including for Troy, The Count of Monte Cristo (in which St. Mary's Tower is featured as the prison fortress Château d'If) and Swept Away.” Wikipedia
