Countries & regions
Transylvania
historical and geographical region in the central and western part of Romania
Romania · 46.7667, 23.5833
Transylvania is on this map as a whole region rather than as a place, because Wikidata records 4 video games as set here and nothing finer. The dot sits at its centre, which is not where anything happens: it stands in for the whole area. Nothing is claimed to have been filmed at this point, and no film or series is placed this way anywhere on the atlas.
2 productions were filmed at 1 place inside Transylvania rather than at Transylvania itself: listed below, each with the place it was shot.
Movies filmed in Transylvania
2 productions shot at 1 place inside Transylvania, each named beside it. No statement names Transylvania itself, so everything here is recorded against somewhere inside it.
- Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance Transfăgărășan per Wikipedia 2012
- The Legend of Ochi Transfăgărășan per Wikipedia 2025
Set here
Animated films that take place here. Nothing drawn was ever filmed here, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood: a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.
Set here, per Wikipedia
Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Transylvania, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement: two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
