Abandoned Europe

Europe has a jump on American for ancient towns that were left to rot as citizens moved on from mining area to mining area or disasters befell them and created a mass exodus. Sometimes war causes blight, other times economics. It's the crumbling stone remains of many of these locations that make them seem positively ancient.
