Another movie set has found its way to Girona. The live-action filming of 'Tangled' brings 500 people to the town. 

The Girona Cathedral, which has been home to the set of Game of Thrones, Agnosia and The Monk, is going to be featured on the big screen again. 

Disney's live adaptation of 'Tangled,' the story of Rapunzel, is transforming the interior and the staircase of the Cathedral for the film.

The inside of the church now features curtains hung on the arches and additional scenery including seats and sculptures. 

Filming on the closed set begins on Tuesday, with restrictions on entry and guided tours of the Cathedral.

To maintain secrecy, Disney will close streets and add screens to prevent any details of production from being revealed early. 

During the approximately two weeks of filming there will also be days when it is not possible to enter the Cathedral.
