Inside CREEPY Abandoned Sanatorium of Failed Project by Italian Dictator Mussolini
An eerie abandoned tuberculosis sanatorium has been pictured with empty corridors and a gym full of equipment in a small village on Rhodes that was set up by Italian dictator Benito Mussolini AP 3 AUG 2024 ![]() ![]() Images show an eerie abandoned tuberculosis sanatorium in a village that was built by Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. ![]() A photo shows the empty corridors of the sanatorium, while another image shows an abandoned gym with full equipment still waiting to be used. Eleousa, which was originally called Campochiaro, is a village on the Greek island of Rhodes that was established in 1935 in the midst of Mussolini's fascist regime. In Eleousa there are now around 250 inhabitants with the neighbourhood sanatorium lying empty and desolate. These stunning images of the quiet town were captured by explorer Macorlee Farnaby (26), who goes by the name of Macorlee Travels. He explained that the village had signs with a QR code to help people understand the village better. "Walking here felt like it was so natural and all meant to be the way it was," said Macorlee. "It was abandoned after the war so had been sitting for so long. "It felt really peaceful there and the beauty of the buildings and the paint peeling away added to its rustic beauty. There were signs with QR codes to read information on the village. The beautiful backdrop made it even more special and unique." It was set up as a base for workers who emigrated from the Fiemme Valley in northern Italy and initially, there were around 180 people who went to the village during this period. The Italians were drawn to the area because of its dense forest that could provide the raw materials for their woodwork. During this time the governor of the island was appointed by the fascist government of Italy and the island's native Greek inhabitants were treated as second-class citizens. It was one of the four rural villages built during the Italian dictatorship in an attempt to control all the agricultural production of the island and promote the political regime. The Sanatorium of Saint Eleousa represents an important part of the history of respiratory medicine in the Dodecanese. The lack of quality food and medical care in 1936 created the ideal conditions for tuberculosis to flourish, as was the case even in less devastated northern European countries. ![]() The sanatorium then served as a TB treatment centre for these disease-stricken people. By the Second World War, the Italian settlers left with some returning home at the beginning of the war, while the rest moved away during the German army occupation of the island in September 1943 when it established a military support point in Campochiaro.
