Craco Ghost Town Overlooking the Basilicata Landscape
The general aerial view shows the historic center of Craco, Italy. Craco is a municipality in the Province of Matera. The historic center of Craco experiences depopulation due to a landslide since 1963. Old Craco becomes a ghost town after the earthquake in November 1980. These events contribute to making the ancient town of Craco a tourist destination and a coveted film set. (Photo by Massimo Valicchia/NurPhoto)
