WARSAW : Construction work on a flagship new square in Warsaw has captured a glimpse of the Polish capital's past when builders uncovered the remains of long-lost streets buried underground.

Builders have uncovered the foundations of the buildings that lined what was once Zlota Street, complete with paving stones and tram tracks around 1.5 metres below ground.
