About this spot
The sebil, a public fountain to provide drinking water for travellers and running water for praying people's ritual washing needs, was commissioned by Sultan Mahmud I. It was built in 1732, in an era with great importance attached to the construction of many fountains.
The fountain is situated in the square, at the intersection of Tophane İskelesi Street and Necatibey Street.
The fountain underwent two major restorations. The first one was realized in 1837, when a flat roof in the form of a terrace was adapted. In 2006, one of Turkey's largest conglomerates contributed to the renovation of the fountain and it was supplied with water again
