James Bond (Daniel Craig) traveled to Rome to attend funeral of Marco Sciarra – the criminal he killed in Mexico at the beginning of ‘Spectre’. After the ceremony he visited and seduced Sciarra’s widow Lucia (Monica Belucci). She told him about the meeting of criminal organisation called Spectre in Palazzo Cardenza. 007 joined the meeting by pretending to be one of the organisation members. Bond had been recognized and had to escape the meeting. Car chase with 007 in Aston Martin DB10 and Mr. Hinx in Jaguar C-X75 began.

Palazzo Cardenza in Rome was doubled by Blenheim Palace in Woodstock (Oxfordshire), England.

In aerial view of the capital of Italy there was a Blenheim Palace added by visual effects team.Film crew was working at Blenheim Palace in February 2015. The interior however was filmed in Pinewood Studios.

Bond’s car pulled into the Blenheim Palace Great Court through the narrow gate in the east wing (see photo below).The Great Court was filled with super-expensive cars. To light them the film crew used two 40-by-40 feet soft boxes.
