Knowing the history of the place makes the experience even more special: the Underground Mosque is built on cisterns and cellars built during the Byzantine period. Ottoman 18. in the century, he turned this place into a mosque; the structure was used for both worship and water storage purposes. The stone walls, arches and dim light preserve the traces of the past; you get the feeling of both the Byzantine and Ottoman periods at every step. Thanks to its simple but mystical atmosphere, it is a quiet corner away from the crowds and an ideal place to experience the hidden history of Istanbul.

The place is very atmospheric, we came in during prayer, they didn't pay attention to us, but it would be uncomfortable to go far, it was interesting to look in to imagine what kind of mosques there might be.
