Lascaux Caves
Lascaux Caves
Older than most of the other places on our list. Lascaux is the fixture of a complex of caves located in Southwestern France, but believe it or not the caves aren’t what made it so unique. Inside the caves are over 600 parietal wall paintings, dating back to about 15,000-17,000 BCE, with the earliest art being developed no later than 17,000 BCE. At present, the cave is shut to help protect the paintings.
Poveglia
Poveglia
Situated between Venice and Lido in Northern Italy, Poveglia was used as a quarantine base for a between 1793-1814. Following that in 1922, a mental hospital was opened in Poveglia, possibly you can see the continuous theme here. Reportedly it was haunted with countless people who spent their final days here. It has also been said that the patients in the mental hospital had to endure inhumane treatment. As we can guess it is forbidden to enter the island these days.
