Medusa Head Pillar

Istanbul, Turkey view map

Inside the Basilica Cistern, this is one of two marble columns that reused sculptures of Medusa's Head as their bases. In order to negate Medusa's power of turning persons into stones, it was turned upside down.
These heads came from the late Roman era.
