Craco, Italy, gives a whole new meaning to the term "ghost town." The crumbling hillside town dates all the way back to the Medieval period. While buildings in Craco have been damaged due to centuries of earthquakes, landslides, and other natural causes, locals still cling to the history of the structures that remain, including a miraculously unscathed statue of the Virgin Mary.
Craco is uninhabited today, although tourists love visiting the ancient ruins and locals return to the town for religious festivals. Since the town still looks like it's from another era, it has been used to film several movies, including "Passion of the Christ" in 2004.
