The Decades-old Underwater Village Is About To Reappear

An Italian village that has been submerged in a lake since the 1940s is likely to revive again next year.
The ancient village of Fabbriche di Careggine, which has been submerged for decades, is about to reappear
The village of Fabbriche di Careggine (English name Careggine Factories) is located in Garfagnana, Lucca province of Tuscany region, Italy. This old 13th century town was abandoned in 1947 due to the construction of a dam on the Edron River. The dam construction creates the basin of the artificial lake Lac di Vagli used for hydropower purposes and to store water for the area in the event of a fire. Photo: Romano Cagnoni

During this year, Lake Vagli was flooded, and all residents had to leave the village of Fabbriche di Careggine and move to the new town of Vagli di Sotto, on the vicinity of the lake. The village dating back to the 13th century gradually disappeared from there and is called the ghost town. Photo: Goldfinch4ever
According to Visit Tuscany, the ruins of houses, structures and streets of Fabbriche di Careggine lie under 34 million cubic meters of water, so the chance to explore this abandoned town is rare.

Since the dam's construction, Lac di Vagli lake was only cleaned four times for maintenance in 1958, 1974, 1983 and 1994. Each time the water drained, the village's image began to slowly emerge. . Shortly thereafter, the lake flooded again and the ghost town sank deeply again. Photo: The Mirror.
