Christ of the Abyss
The statue was born from an idea by Duilio Marcante following the death of Dario Gonzatti, one of the pioneers of scuba diving, during a dive in 1950. Duilio pushed for the installation of a statue of Christ on the seabed; on 22 August 1954 the statue of the Christ of the Abyss was placed in the bay in front of San Fruttuoso, between Camogli and Portofino, near the Abbey of San Fruttuoso. The statue, about 2.50 meters high and built by sculptor Guido Galletti, was placed by the Italian Navy about 15 meters deep, with the help of many divers. The hands of Christ, addressed to the surface (or heaven) are in a sign of peace. 
Denbegh Mental Hospital in Denbegh North Wales.The North Wales Lunatic Asylum was the first psychiatric institution
built in Wales; construction began in 1844 and completed in 1848 in the
town of Denbigh. The U-shaped Tudorbethain style hospital was built due
to the spreading word of mistreatment of Welsh people in English
asylums; The North Wales Hospital would be a haven for welsh speaking
residents to seek treatment without prejudice or a language barrier.

The United Artist Theater. Closed in 1997, the building was stripped of much of its remaining
plasterwork and scrap metal. Today the building
continues to stand empty and faces probable destruction.

Gulliver’s Travels Park – Kawaguchi, Japan. Again an abandoned amusement park.
Château Miranda – Celles, Belgium. The castle was originally built by
French aristocrats fleeing the revolution. During and after World War
II, Miranda Castle was used as an orphanage. It was abandoned in 1980,
with the family refusing to allow authorities to care for the structure.
Because of its past, this haunting castle remains a favourite amongst
ghost hunters.
Yashima Japan.Yashima is a high and open plateau on one of the main islands of Japan.
During peak economic years in the 1980s investors decided to create a
resort village complete with a half-dozen hotels,
curio shops and a rail line to the top of the peak of the city. When
the economy fell on harder times and they could not bring in the tourist
dollars the entire village was shut down, leaving many shops with eerie
remnant collections of collectible tourist goodies and leaving furniture and other relics in the hotels and other support buildings.
Please explore the interesting stories behind these great abandoned pieces of art.
