Another day in the city. we visited a lot of sites. One spot not to be missed was the Basilica Cistern. The people built this gigantic underwater area to store drinking water. It was rediscovered when somebody researched further why people could lower buckets through a hole in their living room and pull up clean drinking water. One of the cool things about the cistern is the two strange large medusa heads that were brought from another location and stuck under pillars to help stabilize the structure. The picture is one that is sideways. There is also one that is upside down.
