Things to do
If you go to Istanbul, one place you must visit 
is the Basilica Cistern
.

It is a large area 
(9,800 m

) under the ground for keeping water. 
It is around 1,500 years old.

It is a great 
place to visit because it is so different to other 
tourist attractions. It also shows that there were 
some very good engineers and builders at that 
time.
