> hundreds of years of neglect

Hundreds of years, whether of neglect or not, means that it wasn't "in modern times". And, in modern times, hundreds of years of neglect is hard to come by. Either it's maintained, or it's torn down, because we haven't had civilization-ending catastrophies in modern times. So I would not expect to be able to show you many examples, because the pool of candidates is so small.
