It's a lost city, which is so attractive but later the feeling of emptiness comes out which is so horrifying.
A city without life is like this, and how about a house, a garden, etc.? when we apply it to the museum-like historic relics, the same feeling comes out...

It's like a ghost town, erroded by wind and rain by years.It's like looking a dead corspe of a person who no longer breath ... ... ... ... Only medical people (architect/ artist)or people (past occupants) relating to it would feel interested.. Like you said, for other people, wonder where would the meaning be?

wonder which type of "invisible cities" it may fall under... ? wonder what Calvino have to say about this one.
