An underground cistern locally known as Yerebatan Sarayi (Sunken Palace) also as Yerebatan Sarnici (Sunken Cistern) was once the main water reservoir of Constantinople built in the sixth century. It is filled with centuries old columns. The ambience inside is dimmed orange shades where you need to walk over the wooden planks to get around. You can see Koi fish swimming in the standing water, and there are two mysterious statues with the head of Medusa and you can also hear the drips echoing creating a scary movie atmosphere. Isn’t it a mysteriously fun place to make a visit!
