The Basilica Cistern, also called the Yerebatan Sarayı or Yerebatan Sarnıcı, is the largest of several hundred ancient cisterns that still lie beneath the city of Istanbul, former Constantinople. This is the only place that let me feel that era in istanbul. It was built in the 6th century, the age of glory of Eastern Rome, also called the Byzantine Empire.

I once visited Turkey, i took a round trip visiting Istanbul, Ankara, Pamukkale, Capadocia, Ephesus, Konya, Antalya,... I also visited the cistern, but I didn't find it specially intriguing, I enjoyed the walks around the city and bazaars, visiting the great moschees, and hanging around!
Hope you enjoy your trip!
