Games of Thrones – The Streets of Meereen

The Felipe II Ramp, one of the main entrances to Peñíscola’s old town, was transformed into the desolate streets of Meereen during the sixth season of Game of Thrones. This iconic location appears in several episodes, including the first, fourth, and eighth, serving as a key backdrop for the chaos gripping the city after Daenerys Targaryen‘s disappearance.

In the first episode, Tyrion Lannister and Varys are seen walking down this ramp, observing the decline of Meereen as it descends into turmoil. A poignant moment occurs when the pair offers alms to a poor woman nursing her baby, symbolizing the deep social and economic struggles of the city. Their conversation here highlights the immense challenges they face in maintaining control over Meereen amidst the unrest.

Historically, this ramp was used by medieval merchants to transport goods into the heart of the city. In the series, its authentic look and connection to Peñíscola’s old town made it the ideal setting to portray the steep and worn streets of Meereen.

Today, the Felipe II Ramp is a must-see attraction for visitors to Peñíscola, celebrated not only for its historical significance but also for its role in Game of Thrones. Walking this street allows fans of the series to relive the tensions of Meereen and immerse themselves in the world of Westeros in a charming medieval setting.
