This is one of the must see little attractions if you ever visit Istanbul. It is not small as you can see but you are probably not going to spend a lot of time inside there, 15-20 minutes and you will more likely be done with it and go back out into sunny and hot outdoors. This place is cool, in every sense of the word.
Awesome is a word that is overused. But in this case, it is totally appropriate!
phenomenal location – well captured
Great shot – would love to have a look around there myself. Certainly looks ‘cool’, but the fiery reds suggests it’s hot!
Another place for the ‘list to see’……another great image for your collection, thanks for sharing it with us
phenomenal picture — everything is perfect: subject matter, composition and editing
Great shot, amazing place. Here’s another view – http://www.fredmurphy.com/photos/Istanbul2012-2/content/2012-04-09_Istanbul-220_large.html

Looking at this I expect to see a couple Jedi Knights and a Sith Lord to be battling with their light sabers.

Just a wonderful photo. Thanks for stopping by and the like of my post “Bird in Flight”.
This is beautiful. Thanks for taking me here.
The photos in your Photo Gallery are spectcular too.
Thanks for visiting my blog. My hubby and I visited the cistern last year. It is amazing, most definitely a must see. Fabulous photo, I am afraid my tripod-less efforts were pretty awful.
amazingly beautiful..
Wow, is this really a cistern where water was stored, or does the word have a different meaning? I noticed the arched brick ceiling, which is common in Mexico (probably in many other parts of the world too) Here they are called bóvedas. Thanks for visiting and liking my blog..
Great place – there are actually other cisterns in Istanbul that you can visit but this one is the most impressive. Did you see the Medusa head? My take on Istanbul’s Galata Bridge here: http://wp.me/p1m2kU-sw.
Having viewed this one of Istabbul’s cisterns, I wonder what you’d make of the Mezquita in Cordoba, Spain. Do put it on your list. Codoba can be reached easily by train from Seville in about an hour and you can spend two days there just photographing.
