Aquapark is an abandoned water park in Italy. Whilst there isn’t much within this large site to photograph we thought it might be a good idea to take a bit of a break in the sunshine and photograph the main water slides whilst on route to another location…
Hospital SC, another abandoned hospital In Italy, this time, a little more modern than the Manicomio’s but still quite dated based upon the equipment left behind. I really enjoyed this place, despite being a bit trashed clearly by local vandals and although it had a fair bit of graffiti there were still some nice photos to be had…
Powerplant V is an abandoned Hydro-electric power plant in Italy which appears to be attached to a factory of some description. Whilst the majority of the site has been abandoned for quite some time, there are some buildings which appear to be still in use possibly still generating power from the nearby water source…
This old abandoned Knitting Factory or sewing factory whichever way you want to look at it, is one of those buildings that looks pretty bland an unassuming from the outside but has a wealth of photo opportunities inside…
Villa Sbertolli is an abandoned Asylum complex in Italy and comprises of several buildings arranged along a winding road.

The rather large Paragon Hotel in Italy has been empty for around 10-15 years and is frequently occupied by the homeless.

Draped with fabric, the skylight provides a nice diffused light on the white and gold accented room…
Villa T is a relatively small Villa in Italy which sits alone, quite isolated along a country road… On the whole the building is quite empty and lacking interesting features, the main 2 rooms however which sit in the centre of the building were decorated with detailed hand painted frescos…
The Blue Chapel Monastery in Italy sits abandoned and features a bright blue chapel with a very large cross hanging from the ceiling. The chapel itself is the main point of interest in the place as the rest of the building was pretty well stripped back to its concrete and brick construction…
Villa 1967 has gone down hill quite a lot since some of the previous photos I’d seen and so I couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed with what was left. That aside the place was actually quite nice both from the outside and in some of its internal features.
