WHY 12 MOST AMAZING PLACES THAT ARE ABANDONED

 

When we see an ancient structure or an abandoned area, we wonder who or what used to be there.

We're curious about what happened to it that caused it to be abandoned and left to rot. Sometimes such stories are depressing, but they may also be surprisingly uplifting. Check out all of the abandoned locations on our site.

The grand old city of InWa might be a ruin, but it's a magnificent ruin. For more than 350 years it was the capital of the kingdoms that existed in Myanmar, which was once known as Burma.

It might still be the capital of the land today if it hadn't been for a series of severe earthquakes that rocked it in 1839 and forced its residents to flee in terror, never to return, meanwhile, had been through a lot over the centuries including fires and prolonged periods of looting.

The earthquakes proved to be the final straw, after which there was neither the money to rebuild & ensure yet again.

When the city's walls were still standing, they formed the outline of a lion protecting the pagodas and palaces that stood within them.

Nowadays, the only full time residents are cattle and livestock, although you'll still find a few people inside the Gaya Corryong monastery, which is entirely built out of teak.

There you can book yourself a tour of the deserted city which you'll be guided around on a horse drawn cart.

During the busiest and most brutal phases of the First World War, evacuating soldiers from the battlefield to a hospital wasn't always possible.

Instead, drastic solutions had to be found in order to provide for the sick and the wounded in hospitals don't come much more drastic than the carrying air Suzanne a secret underground hospital carved into a limestone quarry in northern France.

Photographers and urban explorers located the site after studying clues left in the diaries of soldiers who had served in the war and were treated in the makeshift hospital.

Once he located access he was astounded to find that stretchers, chairs, tables, and even lanterns were still at the site left in exactly the same positions they had been in when the hospital was abandoned due to bombing more than 100 years ago.

The location of the hospital is being kept a secret while experts work to ensure that no dangerous e********s still exist in or around it.

Many bankers and financiers did well for themselves during Italy's economic boom period of the early 1960s.

But the eccentric entrepreneur Mario banyo did better than most, and he knew exactly what he wanted to do with his money.

He was going to build a Las Vegas in his home country, and he chose the small village of the console to do it in banyo bought up every plot of land in the town, and forced the residents to move elsewhere.

He then raised the existing buildings to the ground and started making new ones according to his own unique vision.

The new console which Manyo referred to as the city of toys, was to include luxury hotels and shopping centers, grand ballrooms and five star restaurants, and other tourist attractions.

Unfortunately for him, the main road to come, Sona, was washed away by a storm shortly after he built a mock medieval Castle next to the entrance.

Having no road meant there was no access for customers, and Vanya was forced to abandon his grand project. It's been slowly falling to pieces ever since.

The devil slide butter Fornia was built with one simple purpose in mind. It was there to give American soldiers eyes on the sea and the sky.

The bunker is actually an old triangulation station, which was busy during World War Two, but it's been empty for 70 years.

The occupants of the bunker would keep watch from within using binoculars, and if they saw any chips approaching, they would radio through to their friends who made a nearby 6-inch g*n that would solve it was a basic system which became obsolete thanks to advances in m*****e defense technology.

And so the military had no further use for it after 1949. After the land was sold, the new owner dug out much of the Earth around and below the bunker for a construction project that never happened.

Leaving the crumbling remains of the bunker perched precariously on top of its Hill. It's considered to be a dangerous moment, but that hasn't stopped generations of graffiti artists from visiting it to leave their tags on the walls.

When the Bethlehem Iron Company built a steelworks in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in 1873.

It was a brand-new revolutionary idea. It turned out to be a great one. Many of the structures and buildings that America is best known for were built with steel that came out including the Golden Gate Bridge and the Empire State Building.

The company and its incredible steel mill would also make a decisive contribution to the Allied war effort during the 1940s. Over a third of the steel used to make American armaments during the Second World War came from Bethlehem.

During its best every year, which was 1957 Bethlehem produced 19 million tonnes of steel and made more than two and a half sales revenue.

Sadly, a series of woes hit the company during the 1970s and 80s ranging from foreign competition and changes in technology to poor management and ill-advised attempts to move into plastics and real estate.

They struggled on but were forced to declare bankruptcy in 2001. There was a plan to turn the site into a Smithsonian Museum, the bulk of the site derelict, say for the Steel Stacks Performing Arts Centre.

San Francisco was the place to be during the California gold rush. Everyone had money in the city was a hub of exciting creative projects.

One of them was the creation of the Sutro Baths, a process that was begun by Adolph Sutro in the 1880s.

The engineer and former mayor of San Francisco had made millions and millions more by designing safe tunnels for silver mining in Nevada sutra's vision for the site was initially a mere aquarium, but his ambition soon became grandeur.

Soon his aquarium had an artificial tide pod, and then it expanded to become a vast public bathhouse of the kind he'd seen on a trip to Europe.

By the time he was done building, there were six seawater pool houses with a museum and an ice rink.

Grand Designs come with grand prices, and by the mid-1950s, the cost of maintenance began to outweigh the revenue brought in from visitors.

The city had already decided to close and demolish the attraction when strangely for a place full of water.

It burned down in 1966. All that's left today are the contours of the building and the impressions of the old.

The Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania was supposed to be a more humane alternative to the prisons of the time when it was built.

It turned out to be anything but most prisons active at the time of its opening in 1829 were privately owned and operated manned by corrupt officials and packed with a vise and cried.

The penitentiary was envisioned as somewhere prisoners might be rehabilitated, taught new forms of criminal endeavor.

The castle like structure cost $800,000 to build, which was a fortune for the time. It had flushing toilets and every cell private exercise areas for every prisoner and guaranteed of three good meals each day for each inmate.

There was a catch though, prisoners had to be utterly silent. They couldn't speak to the guards or each other and even had to wear shoe covers so that in essence, every prisoner there experienced solitary confinement, and many of them were driven insane by it.

Eventually, the culture of the prison was changed and it became more modern, but it had a bad reputation and was closed in 1971.

It's now open as a museum open for the public to look around the decaying cells in corridors.

You can stand right, there's a burger, Russia just where the Moika River meets Griffes off-lane.

And you might still have no idea that the enormous Demidov mansion is right in front of you.

It's almost completely hidden by the buildings and trees around it, which would allow occupants total privacy and seclusion if there weren't any occupants there to give it to.

 The mansion was built by Gregory Demidov grandson of the famous Nikita Demidov in 1759.

Demidov called on their Saba Sheva Kinski to design his palatial home, which included a grand staircase that led all the way out into the ornate gardens.

Gregory passed the mansion on to his children and his children's children, but the last of the demagogues passed away in 1870.

And the house was leased to an English club and conservatory and went on to be the iceberg central Design Bureau during the Soviet era, but has since fallen into total debt and insurance, where the facade is flaking and crumbling, and the windows are all boarded up.

We've all heard of a gingerbread house, but how about a whole gingerbread castle? It sounds like something out of a fairy tale.

And for a long time, it was the castle building in Hamburg, New Jersey opened in 1928 after its owner and financier FH Bennett was inspired by seeing a stage production of the tale of Hansel and Gretel at the local Metropolitan Opera.

For 50 years the candy themed building was open to the public as a miniature theme park but by the 1980s it was showing its age and nobody was coming to play anymore.

It was sold to a succession of new owners briefly becoming both a nightclub and a haunted house attraction.

But since 2004, it's been fenced off from the main roads and looks to be badly decaying both inside and out.

As recently 2019 as there was talk that a new owner had bought the gingerbread castle and would restore it to its former glory. But there's no sign of that work beginning yet.

For a hotel that's been abandoned for over a decade, the Paragon hotel in Italy is still stunningly beautiful. We can only imagine how incredible it must have looked when it was opened.

The huge grand neoclassical-style hotel opened in 1882 and was the most prestigious building in its home city for more than a century.

Even to this day, there are still white drapes hanging from the ceilings, which look like they could still be made ready to welcome well-heeled guests in 24 hours notice.

It's not even clear why the decision to close the Paragon was made in 2008. It was still a favorite place of the rich and famous and wasn't thought to be struggling financially.

It still receives visitors today. But these days, the majority of those visitors are urban explorers, who have come to take pictures and videos of things to furnishings.

As of 2019, much of the building is still surprisingly unspoiled. Although some of the graffiti which adorns the walls of the hotel's lower floors is downright creepy.

classical literature is never seen, as a likely source of inspiration for an amusement park. But we have to salute the French for trying Mirabilis theme park was to get rid of great French literature and present it in a way that would appeal to adults and children and also increase the public's level of enthusiasm for French art.

It was a grand ambitious plan and it didn't quite work out. When and for cod came up with the idea of the plan form of propolis in the early 1980s.

She saw it as kind of a literature Disneyland. Her idea was getting investors and when the park opened in 1987, French Prime Minister Jack Schrock turned up to cut the ribbon and allow the public to sample the 29 rides 12 restaurants, and Grand Theatre.

There was space inside for 28,000 people. Although that capacity was never tested. Many of the attractions could only stay open when the weather was fair.

And for the first year of operations, it rained almost constantly. The park never recovered from its disastrous opening and was closed in mid-1991.

Much of it is now been destroyed. But some features including a creepy giant head are still visible on the site.

If you see the remains of the Atlas hovercraft and a field in Florida, you might suspect that it was somehow dumped there by a mighty storm.

It wasn't it's just the last remaining relic of a failed business plan and a company that disappeared overnight.

The hovercraft was supposed to be the flagship of a whole fleet of hovercraft that would become the next big thing and luxury transport for the people of the St. Johns River area who were expected to turn in by the 1000s to take a trip on it.

We'll never know if it would have or not. Despite millions of dollars of investment being poured into the project, it never got any further than the 165-foot-long shell you see in the field.

Work both started and stopped in 2005. And other than a brief message in 2008 to say the project was still going ahead. The company behind Atlas was never heard from again.

God bless you.
