BEAUTIFUL AND FULL OF MYSTERY ABANDONED PLACES YOU MAY WANT TO VISIT

Imagine up and leaving your hometown never to return again - that's what happened in these ghost towns and lost cities.  They were once thriving and home to many inhabitants but are now left deserted and forgotten.

The desolate medieval village of Craco, in southern Italy, has been used as the setting for many films, including Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, while Bodie, in California, has been preserved in exactly the same way it was when residents left there in the 1960s.
 
Lion City in China is located beneath Qiangdao Lake in Zhejiang province. Built over 1,300 years ago in the Dong Han period (25-200CE), it was abandoned in 1959
