8. This Medieval Village Rises and Falls with the Lake
Fabbriche di Careggine is a village built near Tuscany in the thirteenth century and remained occupied until modern times. In 1946, builders completed a dam on the local lake, and the village disappeared into an artificial reservoir. There were 150 residents of the town at that time, and the city relocated all of them. When they drain the reservoir for maintenance work, the village reappears. Whenever this happens, tourists flood the site to see for themselves the town that rises and falls. It last re-emerged in 2021.
