I found this in a search for interesting "A.P.," so please don't kill the messenger if the details are a bit off. Here's what I got:

Craco is an abandoned medieval hilltop village in the province of Matera, in southern Italy's Basilicata region. Often called one of Italy's most atmospheric ghost towns, it is famous for its crumbling stone buildings, dramatic landscape, and history of devastating landslides. Today, its historic center is a distinctive cultural attraction and filming location.

Craco's most recognizable landmark is its medieval Norman tower, rising above a cluster of deteriorating houses, churches, and noble residences. Notable structures include the Church of San Nicola and the historic Grossi and Carbone palaces. The village overlooks the calanchi, an extraordinary landscape of deeply eroded clay hills that gives the surrounding countryside an almost lunar appearance.

The cave is real

That "abandoned, decaying cobblestone path" is fake, but it is neglected. The stones are fake are there is clearly an artificial underlay, like the whole path was delivered in a roll and they laid it all the way down to the crick.

Osama Bin Laden's brother, Khalil bin Laden, bought this 1920s mansion a few miles from Disney World in 1980. Shortly after 9/11 his family caught a private jet out of the country and the property has gone through a few owners (and a number of vandals) since then, and was recently torn down.

Once a glamorous destination that attracted the likes of Elizabeth Taylor and Abba, the Cypriot resort of Varosha was abandoned on 14 August 1974 when Turkey invaded. For 50 years, the town has been deserted, but in 2020 it was opened up to tourists.
