a new subway system in Thessaloniki, (2nd largest city in Greece) has unveiled thousands of ancient artifacts, many of which have been incorporated into the metro station's design in a unique way.

Ancient finds that were discovered varied from Roman-era roads and water and drainage systems to Greek burial sites, mosaics and more.

Many of the ancient discoveries made through excavations of the area are being incorporated into the design of the subway system by being displayed at the 13 underground stations along the route.

Thessaloniki’s much-anticipated metro system took nearly two decades to complete, delayed by funding challenges during the financial crisis that plunged Greece into debt default and depression, and by the tension between preserving antiquities and advancing modern urban transport in a city with a metropolitan area of more than a million inhabitants.
