These Locations Were Abandoned Years Ago. Look At Them Today

Balestrino – Italy

This is one of Italy’s most bizarre ghost towns with very little knowledge about its history. Apparently, Balestrino dates back to the 11th century and the Middle Ages.

The town once flourished, but there were many battles around it during the occupation of Napoleon. Its population ultimately fled the town in 1953 after an earthquake and no one has returned. It is 1.5 hectares wide and full of interesting buildings – none of which are fulfilling their destiny. Find out about other Italian places here.
