Basilica Cistern

The Basilica Cistern was built in the 6th century during the reign of Justinian I. as the main water reservoir for Istanbul – back then called Constantinople. The underground hall is supported by rows of regal columns. The hall seems to spread endlessly into darkness, as the sparse illumination lets further away columns glow just like mere lanterns. In the morning hours, silence spreads over the waters, startled just by the distant echoing of water drops or quiet splashes from carps coming to the surface. As a James Bond hide out from the 'From Russia With Love' and a mystic place of Dan Browns 'Inferno, the basilica cistern has some mysteries for you too.

It was decorated with the Egyptian Obelisk and other famous columns along its spina, a raised central platform used to divide the race track. Hosted the biggest riot of Eastern Roman Empire, the hippodrome offers some links with Hagia Sophia and St Mark's Basilica of Venice.

Libidinous sultans, ambitious courtiers, beautiful concubines and scheming eunuchs lived and worked here between the 15th and 19th centuries when it was the court of the Ottoman empire. A visit to the palace's opulent pavilions, jewel-filled Treasury and sprawling Harem gives a fascinating glimpse into their lives.
