Istanbul's Underground Palace!

I visited the underground palace in Istanbul, Turkey 🇹🇷! A vast underground cistern from the Roman Empire era! Since it's underground, it was cool and refreshing during the hot summer, making it an excellent tourist spot haha. The appearance changes depending on the color of the lights, and it was beautiful! You can take various photos! It's best to purchase tickets in advance for entry! While same-day tickets are available, the lines were very long, so make sure to buy your tickets beforehand! It's also close to the Blue Mosque, so you can walk there!
