Fans have speculated that Jon is actually the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark (Ned's late sister) and was born in the Tower of Joy.
As they have noticed, one of the newly announced filming locations, the Castillo de Zafra in Guadalajara, Spain, resembles the Tower of Joy from the books, reported Aceshowbiz.
In the books, the Tower of Joy was torn down long before the events of season one. If the Castillo de Zafra indeed serves as a stand-in for the Tower of Joy, it will likely be featured in a flashback.
The description reminds the book readers of Arthur Dayne aka the Sword of the Morning, who was a Kingsguard knight under the Mad King and one of Rhaegar Targaryen's closest friends. He was considered one of the greatest warriors in the Seven Kingdoms before he died at the Tower of Joy.
