Courthouse Square, Filming set at Universal Studios backlot, California.
The Courthouse Square features a courthouse facade made of wood, surrounded by storefronts that form a traditional American town center setting.
Built in 1948 for the film An Act of Murder, the set underwent multiple reconstructions after fires in 1957, 1990, and 2008.
The location gained recognition as Hill Valley in Back to the Future and Kingston Falls in Gremlins, establishing its place in cinema history.
Visitors can access Courthouse Square through Universal Studios theme park tickets, which include guided tours of the backlot area.
The square maintains flexibility in its design, allowing production teams to modify facades and structures for different film and television requirements.
