Yeretaban Cistern Basilica (Sunken Palace)



Yeretaban Cistern Basilica (Sunken Palace)
Alemdar Mh., Yerebatan Caddesi 1/3, Fatih/İstanbul, Turkey
Located at the Sultanahmet square (close to Hagia Sophia), the Yeretaban Cistern Basilica, also known as the "Sunken Palace", was constructed by Justinian after 532 to supply water to the Byzantine Palace primarily. Today it has been completely renovated. Water still drips melancholically through the ceiling, and the brick-domed ceiling echoes classical music. It is a very impressive, magical place which you must see when you visit Istanbul!
