Not too well produced and could use some more depth, but hey.

This is Gleno Dam a multiple arch buttress dam on the Gleno Creek in the Valle di Scalve, northern Province of Bergamo, Italy. The dam was built between 1916 and 1923 with the purpose of producing hydroelectric power. I saw this in a history prog on tv and I couldnt help but think it looked like the black gates of Mordor. Of course on tv you get to see it from all angles and the camera leads you up thru the valley with snow all around, sparse vegetation, no settlements and you just imagine.

I'm a little confused: what use is a dam that doesn't actually block the river gorge or a hydroelectric plant with no water flowing through it?

First glance reminded me of Minas Tirith, this is what the text about it says....
"Calcata.
It is an Italian village located on top of a volcanic cliff in North Lazio. Its history goes back more than 3,000 years, starting with the Etruscan-Faliscan civilization.
There is a city and houses multi-storey caves above and on the ground as well as below street level.
The town has a single access through a gate that runs along the walls, near the ruins of Monte Li Santi, an ancient Faliscan temple."

You'd think you'd have to be scared of the neighbors to live up there, but then it looks like all the neighbors joined you up there as well!
One has to wonder about the sanitary plumbing in a place like that. Must be a reason the houses below are all clustered on one end.

Looked it up, now I really want to visit!
In the 1930s, the hill town's fortified historic centre was condemned by the government for fear that the volcanic cliffs the ancient community was built upon would collapse. Local residents moved to nearby Calcata Nuova. In the 1960s, the emptied historical centre began to be repopulated by artists and hippies who squatted in its medieval stone and masonry structures. Many of the squatters eventually purchased their homes, the government reversed its condemnation order, and the residents of what had become an artistic community began restoring the ancient town. This trend has continued. The town has a thriving artistic community which was described in The New York Times in 2007 as what "may be the grooviest village in Italy, home to a wacky community of about 100 artists, bohemians, aging hippies and New Age types."[3] The love of artists for this place, together with the interest of the inhabitants of nearby Rome, who come here to relax on weekends, has made this village one of the most enchanting and culturally vibrant in central Italy.
The historical centre now includes restaurants, cafes, and art galleries.
