The Cistern of Mocius was one of the several hundred cisterns underneath the city of Constantinople.

History

Built on Seventh Hill by the Roman Emperor Anastasius in the sixth century, the Cistern of Mocius was fairly large by Constantinople’s standards, and notable for the fact that it is one of the few above ground cisterns still visible today.

When Byzantium, renamed Constantinople, became the capital of the Roman Empire, it soon had more inhabitants than it could supply with the water of its wells and the little river west of it. So, large cisterns were built. One of these, built by the emperor Anastasius I on the Seventh Hill, was the Cistern of Saint Mocius, named after a saint who was venerated in a nearby church. It is the youngest of the great cisterns.

 ==History==
-When Byzantium, renamed [[Constantinople]], became the capital of the Roman Empire, it soon had more inhabitants than it could supply with the water of its wells and the little river west of it. So, large cisterns were built. One of these, built by the emperor Anastasius I (491-518) on the Seventh Hill, was the '''Cistern of Saint Mocius''', named after a saint who was venerated in a nearby church. It is the youngest of the great cisterns. In Turkish, it is called Altı Mermer ("the seven marbles").
+Built on Seventh Hill by the Roman Emperor Anastasius in the sixth century, the Cistern of Mocius was fairly large by Constantinople’s standards, and notable for the fact that it is one of the few above ground cisterns still visible today.
-It measured about 175 x 145 meters and was not covered (unlike, for example, the Basilica Cistern). Today, it has been converted into the Fatih Educational Park, but the ancient walls are still standing.

-''Built on Seventh Hill by the Roman Emperor Anastasius in the sixth century, the Cistern of Mocius was fairly large by Constantinople’s standards, and notable for the fact that it is one of the few above ground cisterns still visible today – just behind the tennis courts and park benches. Honestly, if you look closely you can still see some sections of its outer walls … beneath all the grass and dirt.''
