The ghost city

Craco is a city in Italy where all people have to leave their own house and escape somewhere else because few years ago the city became unsafe due to some leaking in the street due to an error occurred by the water drain system. this city completely builded on the rocks has an amazing view also. Craco is a ghost town and comune in the province of Matera, in the southern Italian region of Basilicata. It was abandoned towards the end of the 20th century, due to faulty pipe work that was thought to have failed, causing the town to be abandoned due to a land slide. Now, Craco is uninhabited. In 1963, the 1,800 inhabitants were moved to a valley at closer proximity called as Craco Peschiera. That population is now reduced to below 800 inhabitants.

Craco is not open to the public because of safety concerns and because the homes are still privately owned by many of the families that were forced to abandon them between the 1960s and 1980. It is partially accessible on a guided tour. #passionpassport #amazingplace #globetrotter #italy #italytravel
