Take a tour of Ghost Town of Craco in Italy – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats. For nearly last 50 years, the town of Craco in Italy has stood uninhabited. Its dark windows, like empty eye sockets, look out at bystanders and potential visitors. Despite its roughly 1300 years of troubled history, Craco is now just a ghost town. The town has been a monastic center, a feudal town, and a center of education. Landmarks of Craco include a university, a castle, a church, and several plazas. Though the town survived plagues and wars, landslides and poor agriculture forced the townspeople to leave. Now the town is a wonderful place for visitors to visit and let their imagination roam.
