ghost town

Another site from my trip to Naples earlier in the year - shout to @The_Raw for letting me know about this one. You can pay for a tour of this place, but if you turn up on a sleep Monday, you can find your own way round if you are that way inclined. It made for a great wander as old Italian hill...

Poggioreale is a ghost town located in the Belice Valley of western Sicily, Italy. It was originally a thriving agricultural community, but in 1968, a devastating earthquake struck the region, destroying the town and forcing its residents to relocate to a safer area nearby. The ruins of...

Fossa Ghost Town This ghost town was the consequence of a severe earthquake that occurred on April 6, 2009, near the city of L’Aquila in the Abruzzi region of central Italy. The magnitude-6.3 tremor struck at 3:32AM, extensively damaging the 13th-century city of L’Aquila, located only about...

You may have heard of this place, but I haven't seen a report here so let's go! History is a mix of what I remember from the guided tour plus Wiki for accuracy. The Explore: Since 2013 they put a fence around the village and only guided tours are allowed, but it's quite in the middle of nowhere...

1. The History Molson is a ghost town in the state of Washington, USA, very close to the border with Canada. It's not as intense or concentrated as Bodie in California in my earlier archive report as the buildings are far more scattered, but in some ways that leads to its charm. The once...

Intro: New to this forum and found these holiday pics from 2 years ago which I thought people might be interested in. Lots of cool stuff here and I really should’ve got more photos of the interiors. Sorry if they’re not the best photos but hope to get better at this as I visit more places...

Hiya! I visited Salton City last year and it was one of the strangest, most haunting experiences I've had. It's not locked up- there's a tiny, tiny population still living there (!) but the majority is derelict, covered in graffiti and shows signs of being fled in a hurry (old cereal packets...

CAMELOT - Theme Park - Photographic Report - Feb 2018 This abandoned resort and theme park is located in the English county of Lancashire. The park's theme was based on the well-known story of King Arthur and the Knights of the roundtable After numerous takeovers, the theme park was purchased...

Cisco, Utah is a decent-sized ghost town with many abandoned structures, including collapsing wooden homes and businesses from the early 1900s, and abandoned prefab homes from recent years. I arrived just before sundown, and since there was no one else around for miles, I decided to stay the...

Whilst on a break from hunting for shipwrecks, we paid a visit to what is probably Namibia's most famous ghost town. Namibia has many ghost towns, nearly all related to mining activity. I have images from several others for another post, but Kolmanskop probably has the most intact buildings and...

'Ghost Town' - My last report for the site is from my recent holiday trip to Turkey. Whilst this was mainly a permission visit, as tourists are aloud in certain areas, the churches and original houses were ring fenced and off limits........mmmmmmmm :rolleyes: Enjoy.........:thumb Kayaköy is...

In 1933 the new German authorities started the construction of a large military base, a training ground and various testing grounds. Most of the local inhabitants were resettled and their homes levelled to the ground. All facilities were officially opened by Adolf Hitler on August 18, 1938. Soon...

Strachów, (which literally translated means; "spooky" ) is quite a suitable name for this place. Even though nowadays this place is called differently, Strachów was the official name till 1992. Strachów was a town built for the soldiers and families of the Russian Army. The whole terrain...

At the risk of pushing the term 'urban' to its widest possible limits, here's my report from a remote ghost town in the Balkan Mountains. The village is at an altitude of around 700m, and the views are just beautiful. There are probably about 15 houses here in total, split between two small...

I can't post to European sites subforum yet, so I'm posting it here (it'd be totally cool if some of the mods will move it there). Here are some of the best pictures, the rest is to be found there: ostwind KITAJGOROD We were there in early December. The city is huge, it has over 200...
