This is the secret world of “Game of Thrones”: we went to visit it in Northern Ireland

Published on

To the west of the so-called known world, separated by a narrow sea, is Westeros, a fictional continent, with the fictional expanse of South America and memories of medieval Europe. The area, in the far north of which there is an “impassable” wall 200 meters high, made of stone and ice, stretching for more than 500 km, protecting Westeros from the dark forces of the unknown beyond.

The Seven Kingdoms rule Westeros. King’s Landing (Royal Landing) is its capital, where the Iron Throne sits. The time is different. Seasons last for years and decades, the longest being winters.

Banbridge grew from this road, developing from a layover into a town.
