The first place shown is Craco, Italy but what they don't tell you here is that the main reason it was empty was the fault of the local authorities. A few years before everyone was forced to leave the town had new sewers installed and this upheaval of the ground is what caused the landslides, coupled with the fact that many newer building were not built into the rock and didn't have good foundations.
Craco, Italy, looks a haunted place, spooky to be honest! No disrespect, because Italy is without a doubt one of the most beautiful countries in the world!

Excellent video! I thought I knew about most of the major abandoned cities in the world but about half of these I never heard of. I'm only disappointed that Centralia, PA wasn't on the list, home of an underground mine fire that began in 1962. The town (population 1000 in 1980, so I guess it wasn't large enough to be included in the video) was eventually bought out by the government in 1992. Not everyone wanted to leave, though, and in 2013 the government reached an agreement allowing the remaining residents to stay. Only about 5 residents remain - and the fire is still burning, 58 years later. The smoke comes out of vents in the ground. The remains of the city can easily be seen from Google Earth.
Didn't even mention Burj Al Babas, the Turkish ghost town known as the 'Disney Village'? That place is crazy. It contains thousands of identical abandoned houses that all look like the Disney castle! It's surreal.
This video was incredibly well put together! I loved the calm approach-no loud background music or robotic voiceover, just quality content. Really refreshing!
I visited Pripyat only. In the cities included here I'd like to visit Craco, Bodie, Hashima, Kolmanskop and Plymouth. And abandoned cities not included in this list I'd to visit there are Pyramiden, a former soviet mining town in Norwegian island of Svalbard, Epecuen in Argentina, the Fukushima exclusion area, and Centralia, PA, which inspired the city in Silent Hill.
Visited Famagusta in 1975. My Dad was in the Intelligence Corps of the British Army and had a pass which allowed him to travel all over the island, including the northern half of the island (where my parents eventually retired). Visiting Famagusta was a surreal experience.
When they talk about Montserrat, a few images from a monestry and a little church appear. Those locations are in Catalonia, not in that island. Probably the confusion cames because the mountain is also called Montserrat.
They've recently refurbished the mine in Kennecott. It's not a town it's a mine. The world's largest copper mine. You can come out miles down the mountain range it's so huge
I went to Oradour-sur-Glane. The atmosphere is very strange, it’s like time stopped 75 years ago. Oh and for the record, there were no resistants in this town…

My sister recently visited Colombia's most infamous ghost town, Armero. Once a prosperous rural town at the foot of Nevado del Ruiz, one of Colombia's tallest volcanoes, housing around 30000 people, it was destroyed in 1985, after the volcano erupted, melting down the glaciers at the top of the mountain, and causing massive landslides and lahars, which buried the entire city in mud and ash. 23000 people were killed by the disaster (a large part of the death toll being blamed on poor management of early alerts) and the town was completely abandoned and moved several kilometers away, under the name of Guayabal.

Interesting, as far as it goes, but I would say that Mystras, near Sparta, in southern Greece is larger than a lot of these. Once one of the most important cities in Medieval and early modern Greece, it began to be abandoned after Greek independence from Ottoman Turkey when the nearby modern city of Sparta started to be built. The city had no modern amenities and water had to be carried up steep streets. Nevertheless the last inhabitant only left in the 1950s. An Orthodox Greek convent has re-opened and the old palace restored but apart from that the city is in ruins.
I love abandoned stories.. If I could visit any of the places listed, it would be Pripyat. I've always been fascinated with Cheronbyl. Thanks for this great collection!

Montserrat is notable for its natives being roughly of half Irish and half African descent. Both groups were sent there as slaves by the English. Many speak English with a strong Irish accent and have traditional Irish clan names. There is also an Irish musical tradition. The food is almost entirely African in origin and the native inhabitants are usually considered black. The relationship between Montserrat and Ireland has long been recognized. There ised to be, and I hope still are, annual exchanges of cultural groups between the two islands, often students. Montserrat natives are recognized by Ireland as members of the Irish diaspora.
The Irish were mostly indentured servants, some were merchants. The Irish merchants also imported slaves. Slavery was a regular institution across the world and perfectly legal at that time. The Africans had been enslaving each other and selling the excess to Arabs for thousands of years. They struck lucky when Europeans turned and said they would like to buy some too.
Don't sugarcoat it. Irish women were brought to be "crossbred" with African slaves, the breeders believing that the resulting offspring would be strong and resilient from the African blood, but more intelligent because of the Irish blood.
It's amusing that Bodie, CA was a Western town that completely fits the "Old West" cliche town that we see in the movies. And since it's now meant to be preserved as part of US history, I am sure that Western movies are likely filmed there.
Yeah. I’ve noticed that some program hosts narrate on more than one channel. One of my favorite Paranormal video channels has a narrator, who, @ least, doubles on a different Paranormal channel. I don’t think that it’s that unusual.
You have to add to this list Spinaloga. Spinaloga was a city in an island in Crete, Greece that was created to host all the lepers of the area and is now abandoned.
I love that the name of the channel is Top Fives, yet, they showcase 15 ideas of the portrayed subject. Was there ever a time when they just focused on "5" items? I'm asking for a friend. 😂

When you said abandoned I thought you meant completely abandoned, still interesting but I hope you do a follow up on truly abandoned cities, that would really be interesting.

I was expecting a lot more people in the comments screaming at you about how you pronounced Thames. One of the biggest problems with videos like this is that you gather lots of images and write your copy and then the narrator can't be arsed to look up a very common pronunciation before recording.
Narrator misrepresented his incorrect information as fact. Y’all see how that works? I don’t know if the Narrator just didn’t do adequate research, or he doesn’t care. WHICH IS IT, NARRATOR!??!
Encouragement Right now you may be going through the hardest time you've ever faced. Your life may be unsettled and things may look hopeless. There seems to be no way out for you and every avenue you turn to fills you with more stress, confusion and weariness. But Jesus says "I know what you're going through. Come and rest in My peace." In the midst of your troubles, when you call on Him, the Holy Spirit will fill you with the peace of Christ. People will point to you and say, "How can he do it? How does he go on? He should have quit long ago. Yet he hasn't given up. And through it all, he hasn't compromised anything, he believes in his God and His word. What amazing peace! It's beyond understanding." (Philippians 4:7)
The problem with "Thames" Town isn't that no one wants to live there. It's that no one who wants to live there can afford to live there. China has built multiple ghost cities (you feature another in this video) to artificially boost it's GDP and it always builds luxury homes rather than something the average citizen can afford. Shanghai is an incredibly crowded city and housing is at a premium. The people who need homes aren't picky, the aesthetic of Thames Town would be of no concern to them, if only it were affordable. The people who can afford to live there are more discerning, and can probably afford a home in Shanghai that is more conveniently located.

I love how his channel is called Top Fives but the videos is top 15
Uranium City, Saskatchewan, Canada would be worth adding to a second list.
Part of the “abandoned cities” in this list are not abandoned. The other part is not cities.
Fun fact, Plymouth, Montserrat is the only territorial capital which is considered uninhabited...
damn u have lots of commercials u really milking it
Get TH-cam Premium. No ads
Or just use the Brave Browser.. Haven't seen an ad since its release.
Or skip to last 5 seconds of the video. Let it run out then hit replay. No ads. Tada
Every time you see lots of commercials you ll go to the end of the video and then you will tap the replay button
So war and natural calamities are some of the major reason for a city to be uninhabitable
The narrator really sounds like the same guy who narrates the Simple History channel.
Same feels bro
Its the same voice actor i believe
Yeah. I’ve noticed that some program hosts narrate on more than one channel. One of my favorite Paranormal video channels has a narrator, who, @ least, doubles on a different Paranormal channel. I don’t think that it’s that unusual.
Bodie, CA is one of my favorite places in the world. If you get a chance to go there, you won't be disappointed.
Why so ?
Where are cities like Petra, Pompeii, Babylon or Macchu Picchu? All of them deserved to be in a top 15.
There not big.
@@Tjippie2000 Babylon reached 150k population and 10 km² so...........
Babylon by Lady Gaga is amazing
You have to add to this list Spinaloga. Spinaloga was a city in an island in Crete, Greece that was created to host all the lepers of the area and is now abandoned.
I love that the name of the channel is Top Fives, yet, they showcase 15 ideas of the portrayed subject. Was there ever a time when they just focused on "5" items? I'm asking for a friend. 😂
I wondered about that too.
Very educating
Hello Gloria how are you doing today
Ford: bans alcohol
Brazilian workers: I sleep
F: bans tobacco
BW: I sleep
F: bans football
BW: *real shit*
I'd have been quite surprised if Pripyat wasn't mentioned, though I've learnt a fair bit about the other abandoned cities and towns
seeing as the youtube algorithm brought me here, i just want to point out that when you talk about the island of montserrat, you show some images of the mountain of montserrat, that is located near barcelona in spain
Thank you. Fantastic.
Hello Christine how are you doing today
Well done. Fascinating stories. I would visit some of these places given the chance.
I got unnecessarily angry hearing the way he pronounced 'Thames'.
You're not alone in that.
the anger was deserved , mate lol
"Tems?"
I got unnecessary angry when he said the copper was worth 3 billion today... must be the guy.
The only reason it’s worth that is because it’s harder to get because of that mine...
There I go again
He can't pronounce Cypriot either! ;)
Thames is pronounced 'Tems'. You're welcome.
th-cam.com/video/li0acNdp0Lg/w-d-xo.html
So many things he has mispronounced, and quit a lot of misinformation in this video generally
Omg yes he made me wince
The english language is a funny one
Gracias.I really thought it was ThAmes,until I was 10.I'd read dozens of books that had the River in it's content,and wondered why all the old"Sherlock Holmes"movies kept calling the central river the 'Tems".I looked at maps,and finally realized English wasn't spoken correctly there anymore.LOL.
When you said abandoned I thought you meant completely abandoned, still interesting but I hope you do a follow up on truly abandoned cities, that would really be interesting.
Very cool! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
If things keep playing out the way they are : New York in about 30 years.
I am Legend
...?
@@ekartaestarlings7961 it's a movie
How

New York & San Francisco will soon be on this list.
just arrived from 2045 , you mean the cyberparks of NYC , SF ? great fun, probably what they were originally designed for..
Hopefully sooner than later. Two large cities full of toxic entitlement and money hungry folk looking down upon the less fortunate and taking advantage of generations that made the populous accustomed to their poverty.
They will be even bigger than today in the future
@@Skittles1987 roaches do tend to thrive in the most inhospitable ways don't they?
Hiroshima will soon be on this list
Ooooo I want to visit some of these places, especially Pripyat!
Ok one question. Why did I sit through fifteen places in a top five list lol. Loved the video though ;)
Imagine playing a game of hide and seek in a massive abandoned city
I’ve recently become homeless and I’ve been playing a lot of Fallout. I’m just trying to find a place to live and make my own settlement lol
Oh no! I hope you’re okay, but you shouldn’t be watching videos on TH-cam and playing Fallout during this time of crisis if you have no home, get up and do something! I believe in you, goodluck
"15 largest abandoned cities on earth" puts places with 30,000 people living in it on the list
And it's 300k not 30k. 😆 was designed for several million. They'll fill it in the next 5 years.

you forgot pyramiden. The northernmost city ever built. Basically completely abonandoned with like one guy living there repairing the thing.
Pyramiden? Never heard of it before. But I see where u got the idea for this comment. Clever little green monster...!
Wow I didn’t know there were actually abandoned city’s well now I know that there are
Hello Brenda how are you doing today
@@stevenanthony199 it’s Brandon and fine what about you
@@brandonharris7516 That's okay I'm doing good so where are you from? I'm from Dallas Texas
Even in France, we have a plenty of villages that are abandoned
Surprised me no mention of epecuen argentina. Look up it’s pretty neat a ghost town that once were dozen of feet under water for 30 years.
Clickbait is from The last of us
Oh lol I thought it was from that Will Smith movie I Am Legend
I knew the thumbnail looked familiar.
This guy also does the voice for simple history. Thought he sounded familiar
He can't read worth shit though.
and the mic quality is the worst I've ever heard on yt in 20 years
@@PeterPan-px2iu And the filming was atrocious! Did he use a potato?
Not bad for a “top 5” video. Good amount of photos and an actual explanation for each.
Now i know where to go when the apocalypse happens
Some of the places need to be able to grow food in the wild to eat
Can’t believe Centralia, PA didn’t make the list!! 🤷🏻♀️ 🔥
It's not a large city, more like a small town.
8:29 is where tame impala had his cover taken
I was expecting a lot more people in the comments screaming at you about how you pronounced Thames. One of the biggest problems with videos like this is that you gather lots of images and write your copy and then the narrator can't be arsed to look up a very common pronunciation before recording.
potato potato everyone has different pronunciations for words
Thanks for the commentary, Charlie Sheen.
I'm a exploration hunter from Malaysian, I would like to visit and explore all this abandoned cities. I really hope i can go there one day.
No hunting the locals lol 😆
This channel give me lots of knowledge
“15 LARGEST abandoned cities” “number 10: oradour-sur-glane was certainly NEVER A LARGE CITY”. Yeah, I’m confused, you lie.
th-cam.com/video/li0acNdp0Lg/w-d-xo.html
🤣🤣🤣
Glad he mentioned it though. I never heard of it before.
Narrator misrepresented his incorrect information as fact. Y’all see how that works? I don’t know if the Narrator just didn’t do adequate research, or he doesn’t care. WHICH IS IT, NARRATOR!??!
Wow, that mine town in Alaska looked so creepy
Hello how are you?
I agree - just something about it - not sure what but I felt that too.
Encouragement
Right now you may be going through the hardest time you've ever faced. Your life may be unsettled and things may look hopeless. There seems to be no way out for you and every avenue you turn to fills you with more stress, confusion and weariness. But Jesus says "I know what you're going through. Come and rest in My peace." In the midst of your troubles, when you call on Him, the Holy Spirit will fill you with the peace of Christ. People will point to you and say, "How can he do it? How does he go on? He should have quit long ago. Yet he hasn't given up. And through it all, he hasn't compromised anything, he
believes in his God and His word. What amazing peace! It's beyond understanding." (Philippians 4:7)
The problem with "Thames" Town isn't that no one wants to live there. It's that no one who wants to live there can afford to live there. China has built multiple ghost cities (you feature another in this video) to artificially boost it's GDP and it always builds luxury homes rather than something the average citizen can afford. Shanghai is an incredibly crowded city and housing is at a premium. The people who need homes aren't picky, the aesthetic of Thames Town would be of no concern to them, if only it were affordable.
The people who can afford to live there are more discerning, and can probably afford a home in Shanghai that is more conveniently located.
