Located on a cliff in southern Italy, Craco is a deserted medieval village abandoned after a series of landslides between the 1950s and 1980s. Founded around the 8th century AD, it once thrived with stone houses, a castle, and narrow passageways overlooking the valley—until the shifting ground made it too dangerous to live in. Today, its empty streets and crumbling towers remain perfectly preserved, creating one of the most haunting ghost towns in Europe and a favorite filming site for movies like The Passion of the Christ and Quantum of Solace.
