Craco, ghost town

Highlight • Historical Site

About 50 kilometers from Matera, in Basilicata, is Craco, a suggestive when ghostly Italian ghost town. In 1963 a landslide that forced its inhabitants to take refuge in the new municipality of Craco Peschiera and Craco has become a tourist destination much loved by visitors from all over the world.
Of the old Craco today the houses clinging to the rock remain and in particular the Norman tower, which stands on the highest part of the village. Among the ghost towns in Italy Craco stands out because of its suggestive landscape. The ghost town of Craco can be admired thanks to a guided tour, along a secured itinerary, given that some architectures still continue to yield.
