A place where no one lives. It looks mysterious, completely ruined by some sort of event that might have happened in the past. The land is barren. There are some ruined structures. It looks like people used to live in that place many, many years ago but some event(like a war or a disaster) completely destroyed the place and the people left, leaving behind these tombs which became ruins with the passage of time.

"Wasteland" is another term, though it doesn't carry the connotation of having once been occupied.– Hot LicksJul 31, 2015 at 12:28

The word you are looking for is deserted. It means that people once lived there but that now it is empty of people.
