The Yerebatan Cistern or Basilica Cistern is the largest of several hundred ancient cisterns that lie beneath the city of Constantinople in Turkey. The cistern, located 500 feet (150 m) southwest of the Hagia Sofia, was built in the 6th century CE, during the reign of Byzantine Emperor Justinian I.
History
Niccolò Polo had the first of Altair Ibn-La'Ahad's Masyaf Keys hidden in the Yerebatan Cistern in 1257. In 1511, the Italian Mentor Ezio Auditore da Firenze entered the Cistern via a secret passage in the old Polo trading post, now a bookshop run by Sofia Sartor. There, he found that the Byzantines had been searching for the Key for thirteen months, without success. Ezio stealthily made his way through the Yerebatan Cistern and recovered the Key, as well as a map to the location of the others.[1]
