Hotel Amanauz, Dombai, Karachay-Cherkessia, Russia (Caucasus).

A late-1980s Soviet brutalist project designed with that wild honeycomb facade of modular balconies. It was planned as a huge resort hotel (~480 rooms, cinema for 630) and even had a rumored rotating base to follow the sun.

Construction halted mid-project due to foundation cracks and funding collapse as the USSR fell.

It’s stood abandoned ever since - a concrete monument to ambitious dreams that never finished.

Built over 1,000 years ago in the dead center of an ocean of sand dunes, nobody actually knows who constructed this circular fortress. This is Ksar Draa in Timimoun, Algeria. An ancient architectural marvel whose true origin story is completely lost to time.

Former General San Martín power plant, by José Molinari (1932).

It was shut down and abandoned in 1988. After years of neglect, restoration works began in 2002 on several sections of the complex, converting them into museum spaces, but many areas are still in a state of disrepair.
