The Sunken City

Italy, the village of Fabbriche di Careggine, at the foothills of the Apuan Alps (Tuscany), lays completely submerged by water as a dam was built next to it. But every decade, for maintenance reasons, the basin, now called Lake Vagli, must be drained and the village reappears like a ghost. (Photo by Romano Cagnoni/Getty Images)
