Basilica Cistern Travel Guide
What's unique?
Imagine stepping into a hidden underground world that feels like something straight out of a fantasy novel. The Basilica Cistern in Istanbul is a stunning ancient water reservoir built in the 6th century. As you walk through the dimly lit pathways, you'll be enchanted by the rows of marble columns, some even adorned with intricate carvings. We at TravelFeed love how it’s an oasis of cool tranquility in the bustling city above. The atmospheric lighting reflects off the water, creating a magical vibe that’s hard to forget. Don’t miss the famous Medusa heads that add a touch of mystery to this unforgettable place.
