Bussana Vecchia
is a former ghost town in Liguria, Italy. Abandoned due to an earthquake in
1887, it was renovated and repopulated by an international community of artists
in the early 1960s. It is administratively a hamlet of the city of Sanremo, near the border with
France. Bussana was founded probably in the second half of the 9th century when
the coastal region was repeatedly attacked by Saracens. It was built on the top
of a hill to be easily defended. Source
