Sad remains of a recent war, dreadful monuments of an ethnic conflict between Armenian and Azerbaijani people, hallmarked by the name: Nagorno-Karabakh. In this first post I share my related findings from Azerbaijan: Ghost Towns.kmz (4.53 KB) Keep Photo Layer On! (No more... at least Panoramio does not exist anymore) Related from oGEC:8 Abandoned "Ghost " Towns by our unforgetable Danescombe These are from all around the World. Agdam, Azerbaijan is included and switching GE GEC layer on, the quoted text below can be read as an interesting addition to the ruin site:

No content for the site in GE layers, but some can be found on GMaps. Abandoned settlement with active yurts and the site of "Olgii (Buddhist) Monastery". (I think it is that intact building just below my placemark.) Also I have added two links to placemark description: A GSearch results page for the cyrillic GMaps placemark and one of the results - mongoliantemples.org (mongolian / cyrillic) Ghost town Olgii Mongolia.kmz (970 B)

Chacabuco is an abandoned nitrate or "saltpeter" town ("oficinas salitreras" in Spanish) in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. Chacabuco became a concentration camp during the Pinochet regime in 1973. Chacabuco was founded in 1924 by the Lautaro Nitrate Company Ltd. and had over a thousand inhabitants. It closed its doors in 1938 because synthetic nitrate, invented in Germany, made saltpeter mining unprofitable. Attachments:Chacabuco.kmz (688 B)
