Craco
Craco is a ghost town and comune in the province of Matera, in the southern Italian region of Basilicata. It was abandoned towards the end of the 20th century, due to faulty pipe work that was thought to have failed, causing the town to be abandoned due to a land slide. The abandonment has made Craco a tourist attraction and a popular filming location. In 2010, Craco was included in the watch list of the World Monuments Fund. The town sits atop a 400 m-high (1,300 ft) cliff that overlooks the Cavone River valley. Throughout the area are many vegetation-less mounds called calanchi (badlands) formed by intensive erosion. Craco has been used as a filming location for several movies including such as La lupa (1953), Christ Stopped at Eboli (1979), King David (1985), Saving Grace (1986), The Sun Also Shines at Night (1990), The Nymph (1996), The Passion of The Christ (2004), The Nativity Story (2006)
