matt emmett rediscovers abandoned architecture and forgotten heritage

‘no entry'; ‘access strictly prohibited'; ‘trespassers will be prosecuted': common sights on perimeter fences around many of europe’s forgotten buildings or abandoned industrial sites. in many cases, these warnings of potential dangers contained are an ineffective deterrent against thieves and vandals

the andalucian town of setenil de las bodegas looks like something from the set of a culturally adventurous fantasy film, but cave dwelling is actually common in andalucia; being so close to the african continental plate, geological forces threw up mountain ranges and volcanoes that are perfectly suited for habitation. the rocks and caves make for surprisingly easy settlement, and the nearby cueva de la pileta shows evidence of a human presence up to 25,000 years ago. after that, though, the inhabitants of the caves here are mostly ignored up until the 12th century, when setenil’s moorish castle appears on the historical record
