Was great experience only thing to improve is the guide explanation, we couldn’t hear very clear it wasn’t guide fault but probably inside the cistern

It was okay, there were almost no people. The space is small but cute

We rated the Serefiye Cistern with only 2 stars for satisfying our expectations because we thought that we were getting tickets for the Basilica Cistern. We even went to the Basilica Cistern location and were turned away! That is our fault for missing the details but the accompanying picture did look so much like the Basilica Cistern. Maybe you should make the ad more clear so tired tourists like us who think there is only one cistern wouldn’t make the mistake.

Very interesting to see it, a good construction, not as busy as Basilica Cistern, there was no queue here. The price was too high for that. Should be much cheaper.

Highlights

Skip the ticket line and enter the 1,600-year-old Theodosius (Şerefiye) Cistern hidden beneath Sultanahmet in Istanbul. Built during the reign of Emperor Theodosius II (408–450 AD) to supply water to the Byzantine capital of Constantinople, the cistern impresses with 32 marble columns and Corinthian capitals carved with acanthus leaf motifs. Reopened after extensive restoration, it can be visited at any time during opening hours on your selected date and explored in a calm atmosphere.

Program

Skip the line and descend
into a Byzantine underground cistern

Enter without waiting in the ticket line at any time during opening hours on your selected date, and descend into the underground space hidden beneath the streets of Sultanahmet. This ticket lets you explore freely at your own pace without a guide.

Admire 32 marble columns and Corinthian capitals

The cistern, about 24 m x 40 m in size, is supported by 32 marble columns and 45 vaulted ceilings. The Corinthian capitals, made of Marmara Island marble and decorated with acanthus leaf motifs, reveal the artistry and engineering of the Byzantine era.

Learn the history of Constantinople's water supply

Built during the reign of Emperor Theodosius II (408–450 AD) to supply water to important public buildings, the cistern played an important role in daily life in the Byzantine capital. After extensive conservation work, it was restored and reopened to visitors.
