Bulgaria: Archæologists have uncovered a rare statue of Heros, the most important of the Thracian gods. The marble statue was discovered at a site near the town of Stara Zagora. The pagan temple was presumably demolished to make way for the Christian church found on the same site. A mosque had been built on the ruins of the church.

So often the way. A new outlet for the same product often does some interior redesign. Not often they go for a complete rebuild, though.

I assume the mosque has also been demolished, if they are excavating the site. I wonder what will replace it - a retail outlet?

At the moment, a hole in the ground.
