The town of Old Sagiada was burned and looted in the Second World War by the German occupiers and local Muslims after the inhabitants fled. The abandoned houses are fascinating since many of the walls are still standing, showing a glimpse of the original architecture.

Nature has completely overtaken most of the town, with trees growing inside many of the ruins. The church is still mostly intact. Inside, you can still see some frescoes.

Outside the church hangs a cool bell, which can probably be heard from quite far, which is great if you want to wake some lazy tourists sleeping on the beach😉. The town is located in the mountains (though not very far) and the drive up there is quite scenic. From the town itself you also have a view of the Mediterenean sea.

The last part of the road leading up to the town is unpaved and not every car will be able to make it up From an earlier era, a small community was established and was prosperous but drifted away, leaving only the bank vault behind. An eerie ghost village hidden in the forests of the Eifel, frozen in a strange postwar limbo. One of the Hakka "ghost villages" of Plover Cove famed for its haunted locked compass legend.

All that remains of a vanished Michigan lumber town, remembered for tragedy, plague, and a witch’s curse. The empty town of Scenic, South Dakota, is owned by a church in the Philippines. Little is left of this formerly bustling railroad junction on the Transcontinental Railroad. ## Become an Atlas Obscura Member * * * Join our community of curious explorers.
