    Belchite Old Town

    BelchiteSpainMid-20th century (1937 ruins)

    Belchite Old Town in Aragon stands as one of Europe's most famous ghost towns and a stark monument to the trauma of the Spanish Civil War. Destroyed during an intense fortnight battle in 1937, dictator Francisco Franco ordered the ruins left untouched as a propaganda symbol. Today, the skeletal churches and crumbling arched streets host frequent reports of phantom air raids, disembodied cries, phantom footfalls, and electronic voice phenomena recorded by investigators.
