The Basilica Cistern (Turkish: Yerebatan Cistern, Yerebatan Sarayi also), often called Sunken Palace, is a late ancient klodskassen cistern west of the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. The plant is one of the most impressive sights of the city.
The 138 m long and 65 m wide underground cistern was built in its present form between 532 and about 542 under the Emperor Justinian as a water reservoir for the Grand Palace. In addition there was a large basilica, so the cistern is also called cisterna basilica. It has a capacity of 80,000 m . Twelve rows of 28, totaling 336 each 8 m tall columns with Corinthian Spolienkapitellen predominantly carry the vault. The water that came from the Belgrade forest in the highlands west of Istanbul in the best quality, served to supply klodskassen the imperial household. The plant can be visited. klodskassen (Source: Wikipedia)
