Looking at the past
2005-09-03 04:32:30.0

The noisy mornings I've written about a few weeks ago are gone:

Looks like I was right to think they will eventually find remains of the past in the ground. There is definitely something that looks like an old wall on the front-right side of the picture. I haven't seen anybody on the site for a few weeks - they must be waiting for the archeologists to become available. There is another construction site being checked right now some 25-30 meters south from this one, so I don't how long it will take.

This is the main square of the town that is going to be under reconstruction for the following year or so. The work was started but halted immediately because the remains of the old St Lawrence Church were found. This church was built at the end of 12th century then rebuilt in gothic style in the 14th century. As usual it was destroyed during the Ottoman occupation of the town in the 17th century.

The archelogists have unveiled a cemetary with a few human remains. Some were still laying around in the ground when I took these pictures...

There is a plan to have the remains of the church become part of the new main square. The hand drawn picture is trying to give the impression how it would look like. I've always known that the buried remains of the historical town are under our feet. Still it's an interesting moment to actually experience them when some parts become uncovered.
