Which location represented Troy in the opening scenes of The Odyssey (2026)?
Answer
Aït Benhaddou
Answer
Aït Benhaddou
Aït Benhaddou represented Troy in the opening scenes of The Odyssey (2026).
The first scenes were filmed at Aït Benhaddou near Ouarzazate in Morocco. The historic fortified village stood in for the city of Troy at the end of the Trojan War, providing the visual setting for an opening sequence before the film moves into the main Odyssey narrative.
Aït Benhaddou is distinct from the Greek locations used later in production. Pylos and other sites in the Peloponnese were used for scenes connected with Greece and the Cyclops, while Findlater Castle represented other coastal environments in Scotland. The choice of Aït Benhaddou continued the long tradition of using its dramatic architecture for large historical and fantasy productions.
