Relics in the Castle: one of the canoes used in the filming of the Hollywood blockbuster 'Krakatoa, East Java'

30 October 2012 - 00: 00

When at the end of the 60 years the Hollywood industry - thanks to the photography operator John Cabrera - returned to Dénia to shoot the film Krakatoa, East Java, the population was revolutionized and transformed to make the Mediterranean port an oriental one.

The movie tells the story of the ship Batvia Queen, that in full crossing between the islands of Indonesia is surprised by the eruption of the Krakatoa volcano.

The filming of the film left an indelible memory among the Dianenses who participated as extras, but now also those who did not live that moment can enjoy the remains of the film if they visit the castle: beside The Hall One of the canoes used in the film is found.

Located in that place provisionally, it is a piece of about 3 meters long preserved in good condition and to remind the history of cinema in Dénia.
