Carabanchel Prison, Spain
The Carabanchel Prison was built by the Franco regime to hold political prisoners after the Spanish Civil War. After its abandonment, the prison was heavily looted and inhabited by squatters. Today many of the walls are covered with elaborate graffiti.
Picher, Oklahoma
Picher was once a national center of lead and zinc mining, but after a century of unrestricted excavation the town was left with giant piles of toxic metal-contaminated tailings heaped throughout the area, making the land uninhabitable.
