Basilica Cistern, a short walk from the Blue Mosque. Basilica Cistern is an underground large reservoir tank built in the Eastern Roman Empire, and it is said to be Basilica Cistern because it is made like a palace such as a pillar decorated as a reservoir. The entrance to Basilica Cistern is normal, but once entering the basement, there is atmosphere that feels a bit scary. People who are vulnerable to haunted houses and horror movies are a lot of tourists, you should visit during the day. The main point of Basilica Cistern is the pillar of Medusa in the back of the palace. Medusa's face turned upside down is that medusa can not use magical power. |
