Craco today is considered a ghost town, today it is the destination of many curious tourists.

This country was devastated by a landslide in 1963, later all its citizens moved to the new municipality, Craco Peschiera.

Craco for those who observe it in the distance looks like a sculpture of medieval origins surrounded by the "Calanchi".

The splendid "ghost town" in the province of Matera, is today one of the unmissable destinations of the Lucanian land, due to its suggestiveness and beauty, it was destroyed in 1963 by a landslide that forced the local population to leave the village to take refuge in the new municipality of Craco Peschiera.
