基本説明

THE 50 MOST SPECTACUL AR URBEX SITES IN THE WORLD

An abandoned Japanese island on which a James Bond movie was filmed, forgotten underground reservoirs in the heart of London, an entire town swallowed up by the sands in Namibia, an exceptional Tuscan castle deserted for decades, a grandiose cinema in disrepair in Tangiers, spectacular disused factories in the USA, Germany and Hungary...
Throughout the world, much of our architectural heritage is all too often forgotten. Many of the world's sleeping treasures are regarded as worthless relics of a bygone era...
This outlook is only set to improve, as this atlas proves, reminding us that in every corner of the globe, it's essential to contribute to safeguarding the heritage on which our world's cultural wealth is based.

Full Description

A beautifully illustrated, fascinating compendium of abandoned places that were so recently a significant part of modern life but are now discarded and ravaged by nature and time.

From empty manor houses to crumbling churches and disused factories across Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia, it reveals many of the world's sleeping treasures, relics from a bygone era, all with a history and a story to tell. 

Travel to Stack Rock Fort, a Victorian island reclaimed by nature
Discover the Castle of Sammezzano, a masterpiece of excess and refinement
Explore the Palazzo Athena, a neo-classical house with a large, elliptical room that extends over 2 floors
Investigate the Crespi d'Adda Power Plant, the jewel of industrial technology in 1909
Examine the Hugo Mine Hangman's Room which is not what you think
Journey to Saint Martin of the Tigers a ghost town in Southern Angola, a model settlement in one of the most inhospitable regions of the Namibe desert

Each place comes with a bespoke map to help locate the forsaken site and is illustrated with beautiful photographs that really bring the places to life.

Turn to the Atlas of Forbidden Places to uncover the incredible stories behind once thriving buildings. Take a peek behind closed doors to discover who used to live there or work there and understand why these places were abandoned.
