Western Leone was originally built——to film Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West (1968); the large red house, around which many of the "scenes in the film revolve," is maintained as an attraction, "along with other buildings of a Western town." It has also been used——to film other Spaghetti Westerns.
