Seferikos Cistern and Ottoman Structure
Cisterns, which are underground masonry water tanks, were key structures in meeting Istanbul's water needs during the Byzantine period. The Byzantine period water cistern of our museum, dated to the end of the 11th century, has 48 arches, 15 columns, and 20 columns. The structure, which has a rectangular plan close to a square, was built to collect water directly. The cistern was built with reclaimed materials such as stone, terracotta leaf brick, and Khorasan mortar. Column capitals were created in various styles from the early Byzantine period to the 11th century. Cistern; After losing its purpose, it was converted into the tobacco warehouse of Cibali Cigarette Tobacco Factory. It was used as a food storage facility during World War II.
The remains of the building in the exhibition area date from the 17th century. The end use of the structure, which consists of two different blocks, which is thought to be a part, is unknown, but it is thought to be related to water.
