Basilica Cistern - Istanbul

The underground water system in Istanbul takes a modern twist on an ancient water system. The attraction is a one way walking system with visual art installations which have different focuses. All of the art installations have descriptions by the artists to explain their meaning and purpose. There is water under the ground and can get quite busy at times. I would definitely recommend purchasing tickets online prior to going as the queue to enter the attraction is much shorter #awesomepic #art #culture #istanbul
