In 1984, during the foundation diggings of Antik Hotel, historical ruins have been found around 12 meters deep. Construction stopped immediately and a new digging started to save the ruins. Studies have been made by historians and experts of the istanbul Archaeological Museum. The results stated that the ruins were from Late Rome and Early Bizantines, further studies showed that it was the ruins of a “Cistern”.
After this discovery construction plans have been changed my engineers in order to build Antik Cisterna in such a way that kept the historical ruins untouched in the heart of Istanbul. All historical remains are displayed in the entrance of Antik Hotel.
According to the historians; During the 5th and 6th centuries, there were very important buildings that stood on the Mese Road (Divan Road) which starts from Hagia Sophia to Çemberlitaş, and pasing through Beyazıt to Aksaray. Antiochos and Lausos Palaces in Sultanahmet and Myrelaion Palace in Laleli are some examples to these buildings. Antik Cisterna is also one of these buildings from 4th and 5th century.
Another Ottoman era structure had been built over the original cistern. Following restoration work, the historical cistern was brought back to life and transformed into the Antik Cisterna a facility that combines culture, art and history. The City of Istanbul has got many names in the past centuries and nowadays: Byzantion, Constantinopolis, Constantinople, Estambul, Stamboul, Islambol.
