\r\nRecent rescue excavations conducting by the Greek Archaeological Service at the historical center of Thessaloniki, Greece, due to the construction of Metro, revealed significant evidence of the city’s urban life at 6th – 9th century: the monumental Gate placed at the crossroad of the marble paved avenue (ca. 76 m in length), framed by public buildings, with the road leading to the harbor. These extraordinary finds constitute a unique evidence of the social, commercial, and everyday life in early byzantine Thessaloniki.\r\n
\r\nThe decision by the State of removing this rare piece of world heritage \r\nat an ex-army camp undermines the essence of the unmovable \r\narchaeological monument according to the Greek and International Law. \r\nConsider what will be the Eifel Tower or the Big Ben removed from their \r\noriginal place? Please sign up and vote in order to save this \r\nirreplaceable monument. There are technical solutions to preserve and \r\nplace it straight to heart of Thessaloniki’s modern life.", "text": "Στην προσπάθεια για να σωθούν τα μοναδικά ευρήματα του Βυζαντινού Κέντρου της Θεσσαλονίκης, συμμετέχουν φίλοι από όλο τον κόσμο.
