Sad Hill Cemetery (Spanish: Cementerio de Sad Hill; Italian: Cimitero di Sad Hill) is a tourism site and former film location in Contreras, Burgos (northern Spain), designed by Carlo Simi in 1966[1] and built by the Spanish Army.[2]
Sad Hill Cemetery is where the last sequence was filmed for the film The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966).[3] It was rebuilt in 2015.[4] The reconstruction was recorded in the documentary Sad Hill Unearthed (2017) by Guillermo de Oliveira.[5]
Status
In 2017, the Asociación Cultural Sad Hill (Sad Hill Cultural Association) planned to name Sad Hill Cemetery a Bien de Interés Cultural.[6]
In 2024, the Sabinares del Arlanza Natural Park announced a plan to rebuild the Betterville prisoner camp at its filmed location about 6 km from Sad Hill. The stockade will be rebuilt using thousands of Juniperus thurifera that burned in 2022 in Santo Domingo de Silos.[7]
