📍Istanbul Underground Palace (Basilica Cistern, Türkiye )🇹🇷
Located opposite the Hagia Sophia, this underground palace was once a huge cistern during the Byzantine Empire!
The sight of the dimly lit columns rising from the water surface was fantastical.
It felt like I had time-traveled to the Middle Ages and was on an adventure✨
The day we visited happened to be International Women's Day, so the entrance fee for women was free.
The regular ticket price is 600 TKL, which is about 2800 yen.
