About the Binbirdirek Cistern

The Binbirdirek Cistern, built in the 4th century A.D. during the reign of Emperor Constantine, was later expanded in the Byzantine era to store the city’s water needs, making it the second largest underground cistern of Istanbul.

Standing beside the Hippodrome, this monumental structure now captivates visitors with its mystical atmosphere, offering an unforgettable journey through history.
