10. The Superconducting Super Collider, Texas
The largest particle collider in the world is hidden beneath the ground near Geneva in Switzerland, but there were once plans to build something on a completely different level. Keeping true to the state’s ethos that everything’s bigger in Texas, the desert outside the town of Waxahachie was chosen as the location for the Superconducting Super Collider which, if it had been completed, would have been more than 3 times as big as the one in Europe, with a length of almost 55 miles.

9. Pluto’s Gate, Turkey
Pluto’s gate was a monument near the ancient Greek city of Hierapolis, in modern day Turkey, that was dedicated to Pluto, the god of the afterlife. It’s thought to have been built around 2 thousand years ago on top of a cave that was said to lead to the underworld, but after a series of earthquakes in the 6th century, the temple collapsed and the site was forgotten about.

8. Poveglia, Italy
Most people think of Venice as being the most romantic city in the world, and with somewhere between 22 and 30 million visitors each year, space is definitely at a premium. There’s an island in the lagoon, though, which no one’s allowed to go to… because of serious health risks, and because it’s believed to be haunted.

7. RAF Upper Heyford
RAF Upper Heyford was an airbase that was first used by the British air force from 1916, and would go on to be used by American troops in the 1950s. It was used as a base for B-52 bombers and U2 spyplanes to give the US a perfect starting point for flights over Soviet territory, and had become the largest fighter base in Europe by the beginning of the 70s.

6. North Brother Island, New York
New York City is one of the most built-up and populated pieces of land in the world, but there still remain some places that haven't been developed… one of which is North Brother Island. The 20 acre plot of land, which lies in the East River between the Bronx and Riker's Island, has had a dark history, and because of that it's remained largely untouched and off limits since 1963.

5. Randall Park Mall, Ohio
Malls are a common site around the world, providing visitors with a variety of different stores under one roof. Not all of them are as successful as their developers would hope, though, and one of the biggest failures was the Randall Park Mall in Ohio. Covering an area of 2.2 million square feet, and at a cost of 175 million dollars, it was the largest mall in the world when it opened in 1976.

4. Aralsk 7, Aral Sea
Vozrozhdeniya Island was once in the middle of the Aral Sea between Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, but now, because of the re-routing of the rivers that fed the sea, it has become a peninsula that joins the mainland. If that's not strange enough, the land that once made up the island is restricted, with visitors kept well away for their own safety.

3. Bhangarh Fort, India
Built in 1631, Bhangarh Fort was a present for the ruler's son at the time, but has gone on to be integral to legends of the area. It's about 146 miles away from India's capital, Delhi, and rather than being in an elevated position, it's at the base of the surrounding hills to focus on beauty rather than defense.

2. Six Flags, New Orleans
Tapping into the vibe of the city, Jazzland was opened in New Orleans in the year 2000. Covering a 140 acre plot of land, the design of the buildings was based on the French Quarter, but due to difficulties it was purchased and re-branded as Six Flags New Orleans in 2003.

1. The Georgia Nuclear Aircraft Lab, Georgia
When we were beginning to understand the potential applications of nuclear power, large scale tests were needed to find out how it would affect materials and environments, so several facilities were built to do just that… with one being constructed in the Dawson Forest in Georgia in the 1950s.
