After looking at the abandoned casino on Lake Como, at Consonno, here is another ghost town in Italy, Craco in Basilicata.
It’s the same kind of quiet, desolated place as Pripyat in the Ukraine, or Yashima in Japan.
A landslide caused the evacuation of Craco in 1963, and the town was transferred to Craco Peschiera.
The town was one measuring about 2,000 people, and the landslide seemed to be caused by infrastructure works, including sewerage and hydro stations.
Craco has since remained intact, in a rare example of a true ghost town in Italy, unique in its kind.
You can wander the streets and look into the houses that were left as they were, both those of poorer people and those of more genteel status.
Some scenes from Mel Gibson’s film The Passion, were filmed in the deserted streets and alleys of this town.
When visiting Craco, people normally go to the Castello tower, entering some houses and buildings along the way, before walking down to the San Nicola church to enjoy the stunning scenery.
