The White House scenes in John Milius’ 1975 The Wind and the Lion were also filmed there.

The bank where Wyatt and Jonathan receive the money - Instituto Cervantes, Calle Alcalá 49, Madrid, Spain. It’s actually not a bank but a non-profit organization dedicated to the Spanish language and culture studies.

  3. Como curiosidad, respecto al banco (actual Instituto Cervantes), ese edificio desde su construcción en 1910 fue un banco (Banco Español del Río de la Plata) hasta que en 2005 fue cedido al Instituto. Puede leerse toda su historia aquí: https://www.miradormadrid.com/instituto-cervantes/
