Repair works at a reservoir in Italy have revealed the remains of a village that had been submerged for decades.<\/strong><\/p>

BBC<\/a> – Lake Resia, in the north of the country, is best known for the church steeple emerging from its icy waters.  The iconic scene has even inspired a book and a Netflix series.

A village under water for decades is now emerging from an Italian lake<\/strong><\/p>

CBCNews<\/strong> – A village submerged beneath an Italian lake for decades, like a real-life Atlantis, is now peeking above the water’s surface, BBC News reports. What is now a lake bed used to be the village of Curon, once home to hundreds of people. Curon was flooded in 1950 to create a hydroelectric plant. A dam was built to merge two lakes, and the village has been covered by the Lake Resia ever since, according to BBC News.<\/p>

Village resurfaces after 70 years under water<\/strong><\/p>

The Times<\/strong> – The draining of an artificial lake in South Tyrol has exposed the remains of a village that was sacrificed 70 years ago in order to provide hydroelectric power for the industries of northern Italy. The village of Curon inspired a novel and a Netflix series and is best known for its 14th-century church tower that rises eerily from Lake Resia. The village was at the confluence of two natural lakes and was flooded in 1950, allowing the power station at Glorenza to generate 250 million kWh a year.<\/p>
