Lights and Columns

After you enter the subterranean cistern that has been there since the 6th century, you begin to see the water, the marble columns and you hear the haunting music playing. It is unlike any where else I have ever been. This is the water filtration system that was built for the near by palaces and has been beneath the city of Istanbul since the days of the Byzantine empire.
