Saint Mercurius Underground City

The official source says three cleared levels of this Saratlı underground city are open to visitors and describes a church area. Recheck the accessible section and entry conditions before going. A Seljuk-period inn known as Develik connects with the underground spaces. Cross markings and burials beneath the large church floor reveal religious and funerary uses alongside the settlement's role as a refuge.
