Показать описание
Remember the scene in the old James Bond movie From Russia With Love when Bond is rowing in a small boat through a forest of marble columns? That scene was filmed in Yerebatan Sarnıcı / Basilica Cistern.
One of Istanbul’s most prominent structures, the Basilica Cistern was built by the Eastern Roman Emperor Justinian in the 6th Century. For centuries this Basilica was used to distribute water for the needs of the city, obtained from historical waterways.
