Western Leone

The fortress used in El Condor

Western Leone is a Western-style theme park in the province of Almeria, Andalusia (Spain). Located at the 378.9 km mark on the A-92 motorway,[1] it is the smallest of three such theme parks in the Tabernas Desert; the other two are Mini Hollywood and Texas Hollywood.

Western Leone was originally built to film Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West (1968);[2] the large red house, around which many of the scenes in the film revolve, is maintained as an attraction, along with other buildings of a Western town.[3] It has also been used to film other Spaghetti Westerns.[2]

In 1970, a fortress was built a short distance from Western Leone. This structure was used as a set for El Condor and later films. The fortress had fallen into disrepair by 1986.[4]

In March 2022, it was for sale 2.5 million euros (86.000m2).[5] In May 2026 it changed to 1.6 million euros.[6]
