Back then, buildings were more impressive and creative than they are today. Unfortunately, very few of these buildings have survived, and some are not in the best shape. We can still admire their beauty.
Members of the Abandoned Beauties Facebook Group are sharing photos of beautiful abandoned structures around the globe. They still look fabulous despite being unused for hundreds upon hundreds of years. See some of the most striking images this group has shared in the gallery below.
