Craco, Province of Matera, Italy
Abandoned in 1963
Located in the region of Basilicata, in southern Italy, Craco was built around 1060 on a mountain. In 1891, its population has reached 2,000 who lived in wheat and livestock. But in 1922-1943, a water tank in the Tour and a underground water network have been built in the village. The village is built on limestone, which has caused the major landslide in the village. In 1963, the remaining 1,800 inhabitants have been asked to evacuate and have settled in a valley, 7 km down from the mountain, a new city called Craco Peschiera.
