Kolmanskop Ghost Town
Kolmanskop Ghost Town is an abandoned diamond mining town located in Namibia. Founded in the early 1900s, it thrived during the diamond rush but was largely deserted by the 1950s as diamond resources dwindled. The town features well-preserved buildings, many of which are filled with sand, creating a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere.
Today, Kolmanskop is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors interested in its history and unique architecture. Guided tours offer insights into the lives of the miners and their families, showcasing the once-bustling community that has now become a symbol of Namibia's mining heritage.
