The Basilica Cistern

Located in Southwest of hagia Sofia, and it is magnificent ancient building. It is underground water reservoir called as “Yerebatan Cistern” because of the underground marble columns. Basilica Cistern is a magical underground place that really is unlike any place! It has all of the medusa vibes! It is a series of tunnels that lead to a street in the middle of the city at the end of it. It is a cave of actual wonder. Every historical artifact found there has a thorough description and you feel a lot more informed whenever you leave this place. One of the many places I would recommend in this amazing city! ⛪️🌟👓 #solstice #urbanexplorer #summervacation #ancientlandmark #ancientarchitecture #summervacation#urbanexplorer
