8. Gamsutl
The Russian Republic of Dagestan, located along the Caspian Sea, is home to the abandoned mountaintop village of Gamsutl. Nobody knows for sure when it was built, but it’s clear by the appearance of the now crumbling ruins that the former settlement is very, very old!

La Ciudad Perdida, Spanish for “The Lost City,” is an archaeological site situated deep in Colombia’s Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains. Researchers believe that the Tayrona people founded the remote mountainside settlement around 650 years earlier than the famed Machu Picchu, around 800 A.D.
3. Craco
Located on a summit 1,312-feet (400 meters) tall, about 25 miles (40 km) inland in southern Italy’s Matera province, the ghost town of Craco dates as far back as the eighth century B.C. The Greeks moved in around 540 A.D., calling the town “Montedoro”.
2. Sewell Ghost Town
Informally known as the “City of Stairs,” Sewell is a former mining town that sits over 7,220 feet (2,200 meters) above sea level. Located in the Chilean Andes, directly above the world’s largest underground copper mine it was built on a steep, barren slope.
