The remains were excavated by local archeologists who claimed that the discovery is of European importance.
Many other finds were unearthed in the area like an intact Roman cellar and a 3 m wide, stone waterdrain that was repaired in the 19th century.
Two stone altars were uncovered which were decorated with scenes from the life of Mithras in reliefs and had dedicative inscriptions.
