The Basilica Cistern Turkey

The Basilica Cistern is an underground miracle and one of the best. And surely the greatest – of Istanbul’s enduring Byzantine destinations. With its impressive sections, fabulous scale and puzzling feel. This underground site appears to be an overflowed royal residence, yet it is in certainty a previous water stockpiling load.

Worked by Byzantine Emperor Justinian in around 532AD. The Basilica Cistern estimates roughly 453 feet by 212 feet and would have put away around 80,000 cubic meters of water. At once to supply the royal residence just as the city of Byzantium. At the time, it has situated underneath the square known as the Stoa Basilica, thus its name.

Today, guests can investigate the Basilica Cistern, stepping its raised stages to see its 336 delightful marble segments, make the most of its vaulted roofs and experience its creepy nature complete with dribbling water. Among the features at the Basilica Cistern are two baffling segments delineating the leader of the fanciful figure Medusa.
