There are plenty of well-preserved historical buildings in cities around the world, which often shape local identity and boost tourism. But what about the lesser-known, hidden or even deserted examples of built heritage which deserve special attention?

Does the practice of conservation always get it right? Do brilliant buildings slip through the cracks?
