The Ghost Town of Muna

WELCOME to MUNA!!
You don't have to go home. But, you can't stay here!

When someone tells me not to do something... I take it into consideration. But, when I go on holiday and hear about a ghost village way up in the mountains away from my lovely, safe seaside hotel I don't need anyone to bother. I'm going anyway. How many times will I have the opportunity to really experience this again? Seriously. Stick a dead wild board carcass on the road sign near an abandoned 16th century village in the middle of nowhere to keep me out? I'm your Girl. Where's the bar?

Muna, according to Lonely Planet and other trusted sources, was abandoned after WWII. The existing church's exterior is mysteriously maintained as is the granite marker on the facade listing the men from Muna who fought and died during the wars. This is an all too common memorial in each Corsican village. Their dead were etched in stone and the ghosts of those who fought and died are palpable. The wind, the light, and the whispers from the squatters up the mountain make certain that you don't forget you are not alone where you stand. And, once you really become aware of this it is definitely time to leave.
