The next stop will be the Crypt of Agios Dimitrios, patron saint of Thessaloniki. This holy spot is located underground and it is the same spot where the saint was martyred. The place now functions as an exhibition space that displays different objects rescued from the fire that destroyed the city back in the 5th century.
