Dimokratias (Greek: Δημοκρατίας, literally Democracy [Square])[1] is an under-construction metro station serving Thessaloniki Metro's Line 1 and Line 2. It is expected to enter service in 2023.[2] Construction of this station has been held back by major archaeological finds, and it is designated as a high-importance archaeological site by Attiko Metro, the company overseeing its construction.[3] At this station, an ancient and early Christian cemetery & church were found, as well as Ottoman inns and warehouses.[3] The station was initially located further west, but was moved eastward so that it falls outside of the medieval Walls of Thessaloniki, thus reducing the chance of major archaeological works.[4]
