Craco - The most beautiful abandoned town

[@jtbaker1789]

My family is from here. My grandfather and brother came over in 1898 when they were little kids.

[@alexandercooney5540]

Here in Minnesota we build a whole museum around a ruined mill that shut down 100 years ago. In Europe there are 1000 year old cities that just chill out in the countryside undisturbed.

[@davidstuart4915]

so tragic that such an extraordinary place can fall to ruin .............just look at those utterly stunning views....makes you want to cry..................

[@massinissaziriamazigh8122]

I am Algerian and I live in a village in the mountains of Algeria, The way this village was built seemed to be a fortress or a refuge for a people from dangers and attack (Just like my people) These villages are a symbol of resistance

[@jecko980]

A lot of villages and cities are built for that purpose in Italy

[@mozzarelladare]

questo è il mio paese. ho vissuto la mia giovinezza, voi lo vedete cosi ma nel mio cuore lo vedo nella sua bellezza e vitalità.

[@mariodigioiamdg]

Antonio Copeta ciao Antonio,lo possiamo facilmente immaginare perciò ci inquieta e ci attrae di un fascino sinistro.Sono fragili le nostre vite e a volte città come Craco sembrano condividere lo stesso destino di chi le ha abitate

[@sim870]

Perfect place to play hide and seek

[@LovegroveTraining]

Indeed, although you might never be discovered or find your way out ;)

[@demodem1834]

You just got yourself a like.

[@MrLeonax2000]

Or to find pocomon.

[@gullstenmarkku]

La razza che iniziava un piccolo campo aveva un naso lungo e allontanava quelli che mangiavano carne perché respirare nelle vicinanze diventava più difficile e quindi molti vivevano separatamente da quelli che mangiavano carne a naso corto.

[@royottaway9434]

Really nice work . I am intending on treating myself to one of those .

[@gullstenmarkku]

Die Rasse, die ein kleines Feld gründete, hatte eine lange Nase und entfernte diejenigen, die Fleisch aßen, weil das Atmen in der Nähe schwieriger wurde und daher viele getrennt von denen lebten, die Fleisch mit kurzer Nase aßen.

[@SurapholKruasuwan]

Amazing thanks

[@DavideTela]

*Spettacolo !*

[@LovegroveTraining]

Thank you :)

[@everypersoneverywhere7955]

Watch out for the hollows and dogs.

[@MultiTarzan3]

Is it possible to go there without a guide? If not, would you recommend me another ghost town in Italy but not so popular - I mean without tourists... :-)

[@marybell9445]

jaime ce village il faudrait le restaurer et le faire revivre mais voila , ce n est qu un reve

[@plaguex1]

Anyone wanna make our own village and live there? That looks like heaven to me

[@LovegroveTraining]

This place gets earth quakes and the last one broke all the sewers and water pipes etc :(

[@elmin82]

bellissimo

[@Chinnion]

Thanks Damien for posting such a beautifully filmed piece. May I ask who composed the accompanying soundtrack?

[@LovegroveTraining]

Thank you. Denys Ribkin.

[@jaimel2037]

[@LovegroveTraining]

Phantom 2 with a GoPro Hero 3 Black edition.

[@ruthkru9048]

Is it possible to go in the City?

[@LovegroveTraining]

Yes :) Here are my pictures and portraits from inside the town: www.prophotonut.com/2014/04/16/craco/

[@primo4904]

+Ruth Kru Sure at the moment it is a tourist attraction as well as a perfect movie set They organize guided tours within the city

[@elfonero1492]

Yes

[@yt_support-03]

Nice work! Just finished my work. I love it. Can u please tell me how did u rotated the camera during the flight?

[@LovegroveTraining]

Hi Phil, I used a controller that I modified to reduce the yaw speed and combined yaw with a sideways movement. :)

[@danwaltz315]

abandon due to avalanches and earthquakes and watermain breaks that caused the avalanches and finally a flood.

[@hiendang6075]

sorry what is the title of the music plz?

[@LovegroveTraining]

It’s on the end credits :)

[@ademeriojunior6901]

Faltou gravar dentro da cidade.

[@sokratesnudelsuppe5937]

is there a possibility to visit it by my own?

[@LovegroveTraining]

Quite possibly. Take a look at the Craco website.

[@MsBeker34]

🥺❤

[@Marco-lr6yd]

Il borgo dei non morti è davvero figo

[@cassiep811]

Does anyone know why it was abandoned?

[@LovegroveTraining]

An earth quake broke the gas main, sewers and water supply. A new town was made in the valley using EU money and the residents were transferred to the new houses. Since the unification of Italy there has been no need to live on a hilltop for defence purposes.

[@fredyrocha5731]

Essa cidade foi mal construída. Onde já se viu fazer casas em cima de uma colina?? Loucura... Aqui no Brasil não fazemos dessa forma.

[@vittoriosoldo6277]

Ciao Freddy, Craco è su quella collina da circa 1000 anni, solo dagli anni 60 del secolo scorso è iniziato un processo franoso .Saluti dall 'Italia.

Yhden pienen pellon aloittaja rotu oli pitkää nenää ja muuttivat erilleen lihaa syöneitä koska hengittäminen lähellä vaikeutui ja siksi monet asuivat erillään lyhyt nenä lihaa syöneistä.

[@mathilde2077]

Salve, Sarebbe possibile avere le immagine drone via mail ? Grazie mille in anticipo, Mathilde

[@flooffyhani6918]

It might in the future get a earthquake so strong that half or almost all buildings will collapse andbe reduced to rubble

[@LovegroveTraining]

Maybe, but at least the town is empty with all the residents rehoused safely in the valley. :)

[@mathilde2077]

Salve, Siamo giornalisti per la TV francese. Avremmo bisogno di immgine drone per un servizio su Craco. Potrebbe mandarci le immagine via mail? Grazie in anticipo

[@LovegroveTraining]

Yes, what is your email address please? Or give us a call on [phone]

[@mathilde2077]

thanks a lot ! [e-mail]

[@FakeNewsHunter]

Why on the mountain? No water there ... no parking lots.

[@LovegroveTraining]

Because 1000 years ago there were tribes wanting to attack you so hilltop town were easier to defend. ;)

[@ARANBANJO75]

Dark souls location

[@friedrichjaeger367]

Undead burg

[@skaterplusboardz]

[@primo4904]

+skaterplusboardz NO WAY at the moment it is a tourist attraction as well as a perfect movie set They organize guided tours within the city

[@ivdddoxiemama7275]

Homeless people are not creepy their without a home. Geez
