Venizelos metro station, opening soon, reveals Thessaloniki’s history from its founding in the 4th century BC to the 20th century. This massive archaeological undertaking showcases the Roman Decumanus Maximus (today’s Egnatia Street), Byzantine shops, and thousands of artifacts. The station’s 17-year journey reflects a city divided over preserving the unearthed treasures, leading to protests and debates. Now, this unique station promises to be both a transportation hub and an underground museum.
