After being submerged beneath the calm waters of Lake Resia for seven long decades, the sunken medieval Italian town of Curon emerges once again, captivating the imagination of locals and historians alike. As the water levels recede, the village reveals its haunting beauty, with the remnants of its ancient architecture rising from the depths.
The sight of the partially submerged church bell tower, jutting defiantly into the sky, serves as a poignant reminder of the village’s tumultuous past.

Curon’s reemergence from the depths of Lake Resia sparks a sense of wonder and curiosity, as historians and archaeologists eagerly explore the preserved streets and structures that have been hidden from the world for generations. Walking through the streets of Curon, one can’t help but be transported back in time to a medieval era long past.

The crumbling facades of stone houses, once bustling with life, now stand as silent witnesses to the village’s rich history. Moss-covered walls and overgrown alleyways add to the ethereal atmosphere as if nature itself is reclaiming what was once its own.

The reappearance of Curon presents an unprecedented opportunity to uncover the secrets of this submerged town, shedding light on the lives and stories of its inhabitants from centuries ago. Visitors and locals alike are captivated by the mystique and allure of Curon, as they witness the resurgence of a forgotten world from the depths of Lake Resia.

Dopo 71 anni dalla costruzione della diga che ha dato luce al lago di Resia, sono riaffiorati i resti dell’antico villaggio di Curon.

Che strana sensazione camminare in mezzo alle macerie delle case…
