It looks as though the tensions between the [Targaryens](http://time.com/4719187/game-of-thrones-trailer-daenerys-targaryen-outfit/ "undefined") and Lannisters will finally come to a head in _Game of Thrones_‘ upcoming [seventh season](http://time.com/4791744/game-of-thrones-season-7-theories-trailer/ "undefined"). In new footage that debuted at a special Madrid exhibit set up by [HBO Spain](https://www.facebook.com/HBOEspana/videos/487535378246617/ "undefined"), fans were treated to a sneak peak of what appears to be the battle for Casterly Rock — the oft-mentioned but never-before-seen ancestral seat of House Lannister. The clip offers a behind-the-scenes look at Daenerys’ army of Unsullied charging a Lannister-guarded gate. A recent theory posited that this feat will be accomplished via a sneak attack made possible by Hand of the Queen [Tyrion Lannister’s intimate knowledge](http://time.com/4818083/game-of-thrones-tyrion-key-lannister-downfall-theory/ "undefined") of the Casterly Rock sewage system. The footage also features glimpses of an [unidentified maester](http://time.com/4694110/game-of-thrones-season-7-jim-broadbent-character/ "undefined") in the Citadel library, the zombified Mountain drawing his sword and Brienne and Podrick training. _Game of Thrones_ season seven premieres July 16 at 9 p.m. on HBO.
