I've actually been to this place, it may not look it but this is in the middle of quite a busy city centre. Havn't seen this is years, thanks!

Holy shit, I took a picture of this same place back in 2007. I wish I knew it was worth karma. It was right in the middle of the city, too. I hope people see this.

Sorrento is so god damn beautiful.

During my stay there (I went with a big group from school) my room was on the top floor of the hotel. The entire roof was my balcony. Talk about some incredible sunsets there with all the cliffs behind you.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful place.

I went to Sorrento (and most everywhere in Italy) about 6 years ago for my junior/senior class trip. That place is scary as fuck when you have a bus driver maneuvering up the side of a cliff like a boss, on a two-way road that's barely bigger than the width of one American street's single lane.

Sorrento and Positano are two of the most beautiful places I've ever been in my entire life. I remember swimming in the Mediterranean at Positano and looking up at the mountain range that slopes directly into the sea, and there were all these little fish gently nibbling at the edges of my toes. I got dressed and ate an enormous order of the best pasta I've had in my life and hopped on a rickety bus back to civilization and eventually Rome. The entire Amalfi coast is magnificent. I want to go back again.

Interesting factoid: Beneath that mill lies the entrance to a gloomy 19th century laboratory where an insane doctor, in his sick quest for immortality, performed twisted and forbidden experiments on the freshly dead (mostly on them, yes - although he is believed to sometimes have tried to revitalise them with the lifeforce of innocent children who, unsurprisingly, did not survive the procedure).
The local authorities walled off the entrance to that abominable place after finding out. What they had found was so beyond horrible, that they did not even bother checking for survivors. Rumour has it that sometimes at night you can hear the screams of the doctor's victims, tormented and now thoroughly wicked souls, as they are searching for an exit in order to come forth and quell their thirst for vengeance against this, our civilization, which had let that happen to them.
Creepily, Sorrento and its surroundings are also the place with the highest rate of sudden infant death syndrome in Europe (and possibly the world).

I stood right where that photo was taken when I was about 8 years old, seeing this just gave me the biggest wtf I have ever felt.

Always wondered what it was, the photo is taken from road level so it's really disconcerting seeing how low it is.

Can't believe I just saw this, sweet sweet memories of family holidays.

This picture reminds me of that show, "Life After People". So interesting to see the progress of it returning to the earth after only 145 years. Wonder what it might look like in another 145.

i wondered what that was! i saw that building when i was on holiday there with my family a few years ago. it's right at the bottom of a huge chasm and i didn't see a way down.

also any redditors in the area, is there still a game shop just up the road from there called "warez"?

EDIT: found all the pics i took of it when i was there. must have been 2008 ish? http://imgur.com/a/0dRdV

We have a similar abandoned mill here in my area.

Unfortunately, both of these places would be terrible ideas for zombie fortresses. Littered with gaps to the outside, no real floors, and what wood still exists will be a crumbling death trap.

This mill is in one of the massively deep valleys that cuts through a modern city. It's wonderful.

Great post OP. Quite a few people in this thread have been to Sorrento, which is cool. Sorrento, the island of Capri and the Amalfi Coast are all seriously beautiful places. Plus you have Pompeii and Herculaneum nearby. Worth a visit and not just because of the cool abandoned mine.

One of the things that amused me about Sorrento were the mopeds. They were nuts.

Cars overtake mopeds

Mopeds overtake cars

Mopeds overtake coaches

Mopeds overtake the police

The police are taking it so easy the guy driving nearly puts the car up the kerb.
