1 production was filmed at 4 places inside Sintra rather than at Sintra itself: listed below, each with the place it was shot.

“In 1999 Biester Palace was used as a set for The Ninth Gate, directed by Roman Polanski and starring Johnny Depp.”

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Sintra 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.

Movies filmed elsewhere in Sintra

1 production shot at 4 places inside Sintra, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against Sintra itself.

Named here by Sintra’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Sintra, 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.
