Imagine seeing ancient treasures on your way to school. In Thessaloniki, Greece, you can. Thessaloniki is Greece’s second-largest city. It has opened a new subway system showcasing ancient artifacts. The artifacts were dug up during the subway’s construction.
The subway opened on November 30. It has been under construction since 2003. As workers tunneled through the city, they found surprises. They dug up more than 300,000 artifacts. Some of the artifacts are thousands of years old. Now people can see them displayed in the subway stations.
Christos Staikouras is the transport and infrastructure minister of Greece. He told reporters that the project “offers a remarkable blend of the ancient and modern.”
