9. Masada
Masada is an ancient stone fortress, located high above the Dead Sea, 1,300 feet (400 meters) above sea level. The 840-acre (340 hectares) complex sits on a tall, isolated rock plateau in Israel, and the fortress was built between 37 and 31 B.C. by Herod the Great, King of Judea himself.

8. Gamsutl
The Russian Republic of Dagestan, located along the Caspian Sea, is home to the abandoned mountaintop village of Gamsutl. Nobody knows for sure when it was built, but it’s clear by the appearance of the now crumbling ruins that the former settlement is very, very old!

7. Castellon Alto
Nicknamed the Andalucian Acropolis, Castellón Alto is a Bronze Age fortified settlement on the Iberian Peninsula in southern Spain that belonged to the Argaric culture. It dates back to around 1900 B.C. and is located in what is now Granada’s Altiplano region.

6. Timgad
Timgad, also called Thamugadi and nicknamed the “Algerian Pompeii,” was a Roman city and military settlement in Algeria’s Aurès Mountains. Located in what is now the province of Mumidia, Timgad was founded around 100 A.D. by the emperor Trajan.

5. Cliff Palace

4. La Ciudad Perdida
La Ciudad Perdida, Spanish for “The Lost City,” is an archaeological site situated deep in Colombia’s Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains. Researchers believe that the Tayrona people founded the remote mountainside settlement around 650 years earlier than the famed Machu Picchu, around 800 A.D.

3. Craco
Located on a summit 1,312-feet (400 meters) tall, about 25 miles (40 km) inland in southern Italy’s Matera province, the ghost town of Craco dates as far back as the eighth century B.C. The Greeks moved in around 540 A.D., calling the town “Montedoro”.

2. Sewell Ghost Town
Informally known as the “City of Stairs,” Sewell is a former mining town that sits over 7,220 feet (2,200 meters) above sea level. Located in the Chilean Andes, directly above the world’s largest underground copper mine it was built on a steep, barren slope.
