The Spanish mission with the bell tower a detective cannot climb for fear of heights, twice, to terrible ends. The tower in the film was a matte painting, the real mission's had been torn down years before Hitchcock arrived, so the thing at the centre of his most vertiginous film never physically existed.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
