The Basilica Cistern isn’t a museum.
It’s a dream the city forgot to wake from.
Columns rising out of the dark,
water whispering in the silence,
lamps glowing like ancient stars beneath the streets.
You walk in thinking you’re exploring history…
but the deeper you go,
the more it feels like history is studying you.
Every step echoes.
Every shadow breathes.
And for a moment, time gives up its throne.
Beauty doesn’t approach quickly here.
It comes slowly, like a secret choosing its listener.
The pursuer… becomes the pursued.
