Basilica Cistern*2

I'm not particularly fond of dark places and I was actually having quite a nervous breakdown as I ventured deeper into this dark cave like structure. It seems a lot of Turkish places are now underground, some how mostly intact.

The cistern is about 10,000 square meters and is supposed to be able to hold about 80,000 cubic meters of water. As you can see, it is supported by many columns which are made of marble and each with some interesting designs on them.
