"Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade"
In "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," Indy comes to Venice via a number of locations, starting in the high desert of Utah.
From there, rocks give way to open grassland along the route of the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad in southern Colorado.
The ‘Berlin’ locations can be found in London and in Buckinghamshire in the UK, and the school where Indy teaches can be found in Hertfordshire.
Also in the UK is the classically grand setting for the ‘Berlin’ rally, where Indy manages to get the Führer’s autograph, which is Stowe School in Buckinghamshire. This former home of the Duke of Buckinghamshire, set in grounds landscaped by Capability Brown, is four miles north of Buckingham town itself (a few miles west of Milton Keynes)
And then, at last, the search for the Grail takes Indy to Venice, where he finds a clue in the Church of San Barnaba, Campo San Barnaba...
...in the laidback Dorsoduro district...
...across the Canal Grande from St Mark’s.

Although the Venice waterfront starts out as real, the film soon takes you back to England, with the high-speed chase being filmed around Tilbury Docks in Essex.
Iskenderun’ (once, apparently, a small sultanate south of Turkey and north of Syria, now a Mediterranean port) is Granada in Spain. The railway station, where Dr Brody (Denholm Elliott) is besieged by beggars, is Guadix Station, Guadix, about 30 miles east of Granada on the N342.
The beach on which Jones Sr fends off the Nazis with his umbrella is Playa De Monsul, with its striking volcanic rock, Punta de la Peineta, in the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, a few miles east of Almeria on the coast of southeast Spain.
The Grail, it turns out, resides in the ‘Canyon of the Crescent Moon’, in actuality, Al Khazneh, the so-called ‘Treasury’ of the rock city of Petra in the Edom Mountains of southwest Jordan.
This is the film in which Indiana Jones proclaims, "I love Venice!"
Enjoy.
