Nature takes back what is hers: 15 uninhabited places where vegetation has taken over.
Human beings are capable of creating things of blinding beauty; in the course of history they have managed to build imposing monuments, charming buildings which transcend the passing of time, cities of mammoth magnitudes that take your breath away. After all, when we leave the house we don't even notice anymore, but the buildings that surround us, whether modern or ancient, are the work of human ingenuity, which, however, had to "fight" against the will of the natural world to create these masterpieces. For this reason, we have chosen for you some of the most fascinating and sinister abandoned places in the world that, in the absence of people, Mother Nature has reclaimed for herself, retaking full possession of them, like a queen.
