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.
Aston Martin DB10 on the way to the Spectre meeting was filmed on Passeggiata del Gianicolo in Rome. 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.
James Bond parked the Aston Martin, got out of the car and walked to the Colonnades.When he was recognized at the Spectre meeting he jumped out of the window and ran to the Colonnades. He jumped out from between the columns and got into the Aston Martin DB10. Mr. Hinx got into the Jaguar C-X75. Both cars left the Palace Great Court through the narrow gate in the east wing and they pulled into small East Courtyard (photo below). They left the Blenheim Palace through east gate (photos below). Both cars jumped when they were driving through the gate and continued the high-speed car chase that was filmed in Rome.

James Bond passed through the Trafalgar Square and climbed the stairs on the right side of the building. In the next scene he was sitting on a bench inside the National Gallery, looking at the painting hanging on a wall. The man sitting next to him turned out to be Q.
The film crew was working on Trafalgar Square on November 19th 2011. They were working inside the gallery during closing hours at night. Daniel Craig and Ben Whishaw (who played James Bond and Q) were sitting in front of the famous oil painting called ‘The Fighting Temeraire’ painted by Joseph Mallord William Turner in 1839. It can be found on Level 2 in Room 34 in the National Gallery in London. In photos below you can see where 007 climbed the stairs and entered the gallery.
