Questions about this page

What are the best known macabre sites in Europe?

Costa Concordia in Italy leads the list. Cruise ship that ran aground in a maritime accident in 2012.

Which country in Europe has the most?

United Kingdom (195), Germany (79) and Italy (78). That ranks how much Wikidata records, not what exists on the ground.

How much of the world is that?

829 of the 2,188 macabre sites on this atlas, so 38%. The rest are on the worldwide page.

Where does this information come from?

Every place is drawn from Wikidata (CC0), with photographs from Wikimedia Commons and a link to its English Wikipedia article. Selection is deterministic: a place is here because Wikidata files it under one of the classes this atlas carries and it has coordinates, a photo and an article. Nothing is written or chosen by an AI, and the ranking is simply how many Wikipedia language editions cover a place.
