1. Sanzhi District, Taiwan<\/big><\/strong>
\nThe \u201cSanzhi UFO houses\u201d were a major development project for some pretty unusual-looking vacation homes, which was abandoned in 1978 before it could be completed. The site was demolished in 2008, and is now being redeveloped.<\/p>\n

2. Craco, Italy<\/big><\/strong>
\nCraco was a medieval village built high up on a steep summit for defensive reasons, but recurring earthquakes eventually made it impossible to sustain. Today, less than 800 people live there in a commune, while the majority remains eerily uninhabited.<\/p>\n

3. Oradour-sur-Glane, France<\/big><\/strong>
\nOradour-sur-Glane was a village destroyed by a German military unit in 1944, killing 642 of its inhabitants. Although a new village was built nearby to replace it, today the original village stands as a memorial.<\/p>\n

4. Kolmanskop, Namibia<\/big><\/strong>
\nFormerly a bustling diamond mining town, after the market declined, inhabitants began leaving the town after WWI; by 1954, it was completely deserted. As it was an enclave for German colonialists for many years, the architecture is not only out of place, but its abandonment enhances it even more.<\/p>\n

5. Pripyat, Ukraine<\/big><\/strong>
\nAfter the infamous Chernobyl incident, the entire city had to be abandoned in 1986 due to nuclear radiation.<\/p>\n
