Despite being formally designated as protected heritage, the practical absence of material intervention, historical interpretation, or control of access turns the act of walking through these ruins into a highly immersive, sensorial, and reflective experience. Drawing from fieldnotes and photo-documentation, this contribution is a creative praise that empirically broadens the generative potential of preserving-by-not-preserving, a novel heritage approach recently tackled in cultural geography literature. This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 891415.
