The Alhambra and the Qubba de Granada open their doors to the filming of ‘Carlos, King Emperor’

TVE and Diagonal TV have revealed the first images of the new historical fiction of the public chain.

The city of Granada welcomes Carlos's team these days, Emperor King, the new historical fiction of Spanish Television in collaboration with Diagonal TV.

Again the Alhambra has opened its doors to host the filming of a TVE series, just as I did with Isabel.

The QBBA and several scenarios of the city are also other locations of this recording to which a dozen actors from historical fiction, including its protagonists, Álvaro Cervantes and Blanca Suárez have been transferred.

The Alhambra, a World Heritage, opens its doors for a second time to a filming. It is a luxury that has been possible thanks to the collaboration of the Board of Trustees of the Alhambra and Generalife and the City of Granada. In addition, on the occasion of Carlos's filming, the Alhambra will open some spaces to the public these days, so far closed for conservation reasons such as the Emperor's rooms and the Captive Tower.

José Ramón Díez, director of TVE, is convinced that it is a beneficial collaboration for all: "A series is a good thing for the chain and for the cities in which it is filmed. Granada will be seen in Spain and worldwide, with our international channels." And he has resolved the doubt that most worries the fans of the story in TVE: "If everything goes well, Carlos will premiere back in September."

In addition, he has advanced that we are already working "in a film that threads the two stories that will arrive at the end of the year. And we are also talking about Felipe II."

For Oriol Ferrer, director of the series, he has defined filming in Granada as a gift since “better decorations we could not have. We are very happy because what we told happened here. A true love story. It was a pact, like all real marriages, but there was love and we want to tell it. We will show for example the burial of Isabel de Portugal here in Granada, where Carlos was not because he could not monastery ”.
