According to information released at a seminar on January 6 in the locality, recent archaeological excavations in the area disclosed various kinds of architectural materials dating to between the late 13th century and the 14th century.
Excavators unearthed traces of a foundation of architectural constructions, brick-courtyards, tiles and dragon- and stag-shaped decorations.
