The Basilica Cistern, also known as the 'Sunken Palace' or 'Yerebatan sarayi' in Turkish, was built by the Roman emperor Justinian in 532, to supply water to the Byzantine Palace.

Underground waterway was used as a reservoir for water storage for the Great Palace and other buildings.

The cistern was used as a location for the 1963 James Bond film From Russia with Love
