[LAT Hamm] The Underground Cistern, A True Treasure


This is one of the most beautiful places you will ever see. It is believed to have been built in 532 AD, but was not rediscovered until 1545. The cistern has a mystical ambiance that you will not find anywhere else. Medusa’s head is on display. It is also used to water the gardens of Topkapi Palace.
