For those of you who walk the center streets everyday, have you wondered what lies beneath these simple roads? If you walk to the top of Aristotle Square you can clearly see ruins that pre-date the Apostle Paul, yet this is one of the few ruins that date back to the Antiquity period. This mystery can be solved in the most recent months near the McDonald's on Agias Sophias. As the Egnatia shifts with the metro construction anyone can peer over the barriers and view ancient city life. A few months ago I snapped this photo while workers carefully un-earthed the ruins. Ironically, after the ruins were carefully preserved a concrete ceiling was placed so the road could once again take its position. So during these construction months take time to peer over the barriers while history sees the light of day once again.
