The Azure Window appeared in the very first episode of HBO's fantasy series - it was the location chosen for the Dothraki wedding scenes between Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) and Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa). It was also used in several films including the 1981 version of Clash of the Titans .
Fortunately, nobody was injured when the Azure Window collapsed.
Game of Thrones is expected to return to HBO for its penultimate season in July. This week, promos for the upcoming season were released and just yesterday (8 March), Jim Broadbent revealed which 'significant' character he's playing .
