Story · Theodosius Cistern
You're standing on Piyer Loti Street, in the Fatih district of Istanbul. This is the entrance to the Theodosius Cistern. From the street you'd hardly notice it, because the real story lies right under your feet. Down there is a Byzantine water reservoir that's almost sixteen hundred years old.
