The Abandoned Commune And Medieval Village Of Craco, Italy

Craco is both a commune and town located in the Matera Province in the Basilicata region, south of Italy. This historical town experienced several recurring landslides over the years, which eventually led to its abandonment in 1963.

Because of its mysterious appearance, Craco became a major tourist destination and even a popular location for shooting films. It was incorporated into the World Monuments Fund watch list in 2010.
