Many of the things I will tell you about CISTERN are still not proven to be 100% ACCURATE.

Basilica Cistern is the second most visited museum in Turkey. In addition to its 1500-year history, it is full of structures made of spolia (Medusa head, weeping or sweating column) and many other structures brought from different dates and different places. In addition to historical information, we will also learn myths and legends. Recently, the 1963 Sean Connery's 007 James Bond movie & the 2016 Inferno movie, adapted from Dan Brown's book Inferno and starring Tom Hanks, were shot here.

All photos were taken by me.

My guided tour of the Basilica Cistern in January 2026 was a truly magical and atmospheric experience. The friendly guide shared captivating stories about its Byzantine history with genuine enthusiasm and clear insights. He highlighted fascinating details like the iconic upside-down Medusa heads and the weeping column. Highly recommend!

I had a guided tour at the Basilica Cistern with Ayhan. He was very friendly and he answered every question that I asked in a nice and easy way and it was a great experience for me. He explained the history in a simple and clear way and made my tour gripping with the examples he showed. He also gave me information about Istanbul and Turkey. The tour was very interesting and easy to follow. I learned a lot thanks to him. I definitely recommend him to everyone!!
