St. Mercurius Underground City
The Saint Mercurius Underground City and Church, which is the second underground city in Saratlı Town, was mostly used as a shelter in the 250s when Christianity was banned. Saint Mercurius was a commander who lived between 225-250 AD. He was born in the Cappadocia Region during the Roman Empire, and was exiled to Cappadocia by the king after he declared that he was a Christian. He was killed in this area and his body was sent to Egypt.
Three floors of the seven-floor underground city are open to visitors. While the churches in the underground cities are generally small, the church here resembles a cathedral. A separate room was created inside the church from the graves of children and adults.
