Archeological discoveries buried during the construction of Thessaloniki Metro in Greece’s second-largest city, have come to light once again.

Construction began in 2006 but the project was delayed due to archaeological discoveries, mostly from the 4th century and 6th century.

According to local media, a stone-paved road, the Decumanus Maximus, will be relocated to build the station, provoking a backlash from citizens, with claims it will suffer irreparable damage.

Thessaloniki Metro is due to open in 2023.
