Accidental archaeology: Roman ruins found under ‘illegally’ demolished house in Plovdiv
Written by The Sofia Globe staff on November 12, 2017 in Bulgaria

Ruins of part of a Roman neighbourhood have been found after what is alleged to have been the illegal demolition of a house in Bulgaria’s second city Plovdiv.

The ruins are thought likely to be homes that were on the outskirts of Philippopolis, as the 7000-year-old city was known during Roman times.

The site is very close to the city walls of Roman-era Plovdiv.
