The movie was shot in the Czech Republic, mainly in Prague. This country is often chosen when it is necessary to show medieval Europe, as there are a lot of preserved buildings of that era, as well as very attractive benefits and subsidies for film production. That's why locations around Prague are used for shooting any other locations from Europe.
