Carved Medusa Head; Istanbul, Turkey Many of the 336 columns supporting the terrain above the Basilica Cistern were recycled from churches and other buildings across the Byzantine Empire. This carved head of Medusa being used to raise one of the support columns is the most famous example. #istanbul #turkey #cistern #basilicacistern #aqueduct #basilica #h2o #medusa #columns #travel #travel photography #travel-photographer https://www.instagram.com/p/CiQUFPJp9zy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We visited the Basilica Cistern today, it’s such an amazing feat of engineering for its time! Built underground in the 6th century it could hold 100,000 tons of water 💦. . . #basilicacistern #cistern #istanbul #romans #romanengineering #history #turkey #travel #travelgram #instatravel #familytravel #unschooling #worldschooling #homefreefamily (at Basilica Cistern)

“To progress again, man must remake himself. And he cannot remake himself without suffering. For he is both the marble and the sculptor. In order to uncover his true visage he must shatter his own substance with heavy blows of his hammer.” - Alexis Carrel . . . . #turkey #basilica #sultanahmet #quoteoftheday #solo #photography #photooftheday #vintage #old #nikonphotography #basilicacistern (at Basilica Cistern Istanbul) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCNpsBpl9dl/?igshid=kcqrrqg7t5hj

The Basilica Cistern, or Cisterna Basilica is the largest of several hundred ancient cisterns that lie beneath the city of Istanbul (formerly Constantinople), Turkey. The cistern, located 150 metres (490 ft) southwest of the Hagia Sophia on the historical peninsula of Sarayburnu, was built in the 6th century during the reign of Byzantine Emperor Justinian I. Today it is kept with little water, for public access inside the space. . . . #traveling #basilicacistern #istanbul #turkay #travelingram #travelingphotographer #traveling_arte #traveladdict #travelholic #wonderlust #explorer #tourist #tourism #history #unesco #travelpic #keeptraveling #trip #tour #solotraveler #sologirltravel #travelblogger #holiday #vacationmode #travelworld #travel #worldtour #christianity #tourism #indiantravelblogger #travelturkey (at Istanbul 우리집) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_MkcxjpEF6/?igshid=181vawxzwc0wg
