18 abandoned places in Mexico

Quechula

The town of Viejo Quechula in Chiapas, southern Mexico, is yet another victim of progress. In 1966, the Nezahualcóyotl Dam was built, submerging the entire town.

When the rains are scarce, you can see almost the entire old temple of Santiago Quechula, which was built at the beginning of the 18th century and had already been abandoned due to a disease that struck the town in 1776.

Opera Cinema

Among so many towns, there are also places in the cities that are abandoned and that were once great meeting places.

The Cine Ópera in Mexico City is one of these places, one of those cinemas with a huge screen and two floors, which by the 1990s was already closed as a cinema and was mainly used as a concert hall, one of which, the Bauhaus concert in 1998, was the last one that the venue saw.
