15 Historical Sites from the Movies
TEXT SIZE:
A A AEveryone knows their celebrity casts, their most memorable lines and how they fared at the box office, but for a real behind-the-scenes look, there's no substitute for visiting the places that truly inspired them.
With the list of historical feature films seemingly epic itself, historical travel website Historvius.com has picked out just a selection of places where history has turned into Hollywood.
Buckingham Palace
Many a royal story has unfolded in this iconic palace, so it’s unsurprising to find it featured in some of Tinseltown’s biggest offerings. This includes the dramatic scene that sees Colin Firth making his way to the recording studio as King George VI in the multi-award winning movie, 'The King’s Speech' (2010). However, it's in 'The Young Victoria' that the palace plays a starring role. In this 2009 film, Emily Blunt depicts the first monarch ever to call Buckingham Palace home. It’s worth mentioning that, in fact, neither of these films was actually shot within the palace.

In the Petra text, shouldn't Indiana Jones' nickname be "Indy" rather than "Indie"?
A good list of locations though. More thought seems to have gone into it than most such lists, like those on HP.
The text concerning the Forbidden City may be accurate but the picture is not. I believe the picture shows the Summer Palace and not the Forbidden City
