Dülük Ancient City and Temple of Mitras

Dülük is located on two separate areas as "Ancient City" and "Sanctuary". Its first known settlement dates back to 6000 years. The sanctuary is located on Dülük Baba Hill (Dülük Baba Tepesi), approximately 3 kilometers north of Dülük Village.

In the scientific excavations carried out on Keber Hill (Keber Tepesi) in Dülük, flint tools belonging to the Early Paleolithic Period with the workshops where these tools were made, have been discovered. As a result of these findings, Dülük is thought to be one of the oldest settlements in the world.

Dülük has an important place not only for the history of the city but also for the history of religions. Indeed, Dülük was the cult center of Tesup, Zeus and Jupiter Dolichenus beliefs. As the homeland of the Roman god Jupiter Dolichenus, Dülük had a reputation beyond the borders of Commagene, where also the cult of Mithra was present.

The Temple of Mitras (Mitras Tapınağı) in Dülük is the first of the Underground Temples of Mitras in Anatolia.

The ancient city of Dülük and today's village of Dülük offer visitors an enjoyable tour opportunity where they can see both architectural and natural beauty while digging into the depths of history with its traditional limestone houses, historical mosque, rock tombs and churches.
