Un connubio tra antico e moderno: è stata appena inaugurata la nuova linea metropolitana di Salonicco, cofinanziata dal Connecting Europe Facility dell’UE. Durante gli scavi sono stati rinvenuti oltre 300.000 reperti antichi, anche di epoca romana, che sono esposti nelle stazioni e lungo la linea metropolitana

That’s amazing, definitely want to see it.
How did those things get buried so deep?
Kinda crazy how there are entire in big part intact structures literally meters underground under a bustling city. How did they even get there, I mean there were people living there continuously.
I was just there. It’ll be kinda like the Sofia metro then. They also have artifacts displayed at the central metro station Serdika.
Time to move the Thessaloniki metro memes folder to the recycle bin
This is fucking epic, eu money well spent.
Absolutely fucking stunning.
In Thessaloniki (and Greece as a whole) it used to be a meme, massively delayed, overdue, buried in archaeological disputes and lacking in coverage. Even though these are still valid, it’s beautiful to finally see it open, they did a great job displaying the artifacts and the stations are very modern, clean and easy to navigate
Gotta go back to Thessaloniki just to see this! Fabulous!
The Greek and Romans were unbelievably brilliant, how have we stagnated and fallen (in many cases) so far?
