The bell tower of the Church of Santa Caterina d’Alessandria – dating back to 1357 – stands alone in Lake Resia, Italy. The only remains of the town of Curon, which was intentionally flooded in the 1950s to create a hydroelectric dam.

It’s also featured on the cover of Belfry, the debut album by the Italian doom metal band Messa.

The Quabbin Reservoir, there used to be 4 towns here, Dana, Enfield, Greenwich, and Prescott, they were flooded to make the reservoir, which now provides water to Boston, which is pretty ass backwards, because that means much of bostons water comes from 60 something miles away
