 The scene of the crucifixion on the dead tree was shot in Almeria,  Spain. When the body of Conan is being magically treated, we can see  mysterious magical figures drawn all over his face. One of them is  the "indalo" (a red symbol resembling a man with his arms over his  head), a traditional symbol of the province of Almería used since  ancient times by the local inhabitants to expel witches and  lightning. Now it has become a symbol and tourist trademark icon for  the province and its tourism industry.
