Craco, Italy, can be seen as the backdrop of many movies Located in the arch of Italy's boot, Craco dates back to well before 1060. Throughout its thousand-year history, Craco saw many conflicts between monarchs, armies, and political ideologies. In 1963, the last 1,800 residents were forced to leave Craco for their own safety and were relocated to Craco Peschiera, a new town in the valley below, according to Ancient Origins. Films such as "Quantum of Solace" and "The Passion of the Christ" have used the Italian ghost town to provide a spectacular and authentic setting to their stories. Despite being abandoned, Craco remains one of Italy's popular tourist destinations and was added to the World Monuments Fund watch list in 2010.
