How to buy a 1 euro house in Salemi
As a result of an earthquake more than 50 years ago, the town of Salemi came into possession of dozens of abandoned homes. An enterprising mayor decided to add Salemi to the growing list of Italian communities offering empty homes for sale for just 1 euro.
Today, the comune runs a standalone website supporting the promotion of these bargain properties. Interested parties can simply submit an offer, by post, to the town requesting to purchase a home.
