    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
