Centuries old wine cellar found while digging for new metro line in Bucharest
The metro line project will most likely be rerouted due to the discovery. Authorities are thinking of including the wine cellar in the project, so that travelers can see the cellar walls while waiting for the metro. Similar cellars were previously discovered in the area. The owner of the land turned the cellars into a restaurant.
The metro operator Metrorex has just changed the projected the metro line from Universitate area, after similar archeological discoveries.
Work on the Universitate – Drumul Taberei metro line started in November last year and should be finished in 2015, after investments of over EUR 215 million.
