Where was Money Heist Filmed? Guide to all the Filming Locations

Money Heist (La casa de papel, or the paper house in the Spanish title), is Netflix's most watched non-English series. Breaking the language barrier, the show recorded millions of views all around the world, surpassing the streaming service's other hit productions.

Money Heist was filmed mainly in Madrid and surroundings, in Spain. The original series was aired on the Spanish television channel Antena 3. Netflix re-edited the format of the episodes and released it worldwide in 2017.

Now back for the fifth season, the first two seasons were focused on the assault on the Royal Mint of Spain, by a gang planning to print and escape with €2.4 billion.

Written by Álex Pina, who also created the series set in Ibiza White Lines, the cast is led by Álvaro Morte as Professor Salva and Úrsula Corberó as Tokyo.

The third and four seasons also included locations in Panama, Thailand, and Italy. Welcome to our guide to the filming locations of Money Heist.

The interiors were filmed on a soundstage in Colmenar Viejo. The scene of the shooting in the roof was filmed in the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Aeronáuticos, (Technical University of Madrid) at 3 Cardenal Cisneros square.

The workshops where the money is made are actually the premises of a newspaper printing site named ABC in Torrejón de Ardoz.

The main reason for choosing this location was the availability of printing machines and equipment.

If you have plans to visit the site, you may feel disappointed as you can hardly get permission for entry unless you are a client (that most probably isn’t the case).

During seasons 3 and 4, the building that doubles as the Bank of Spain is the facade of the Ministry of Development (Ministerio de Fomento) at 67 Castellana promenade.

The interiors were filmed in the Netflix studios in Tres Cantos.

The rainfall of banknotes at the beginning of season 3 was filmed at the central Callao Square in Madrid. This is one of the most crowded and bustling locations in Madrid.

Here are world-famous departmental stores, the Callao Cinemas and gigantic screens like in London's Piccadilly Circus.

Also, very close to here is located Alcala street, Cibeles square and the statue of the Minerva Goddess (pictured), overlooking the city at the top of the Círculo de Bellas Artes building.

The zeppelins filled with money were also flying over the Four Towers Business Area (Cuatro Torres). This is a set of skyscrapers in the Paseo de la Castellana.

During season 3 the Bella Ciao band's headquarters are the San Frutos Chapel in the Hoces del Río Duratón Natural Park, province of Segovia (Castile and León).

This picturesque location in the middle of a windy river features amazing views over the gorges of the Duraton river.
