Architecture can serve as a cheap background for film. Filmmakers on a budget have know this for a long time.
Jess Franco has used Xanadu (1968) in Calpe, Alicante, a surreal structure designed by Ricardo Bofill in his film Eugenie, historia de una perversión.
The interior of this building can also be seen, shot from a radically different angle, in 1973's The Perverse Countess, says Robert Monell.
Of all the "Euro trash" exploitation directors (I'm not counting Alain Robbe-Grillet, that's artsploitation), Jess Franco had a knack for finding good interiors and exteriors. One of his films is set in Park Güell of Gaudi, but there are undoubtedly countless other examples to be found.
