Story
Standing in Fatih's old Balat neighborhood, the Panagia Blachernae Church Fountain is a structure that bears witness to the meeting of Byzantium's magnificent past with the Ottoman period. Situated next to the original church, this fountain served as a water source for the neighborhood's people for centuries while also becoming part of religious and social life. The fine details of its stonework and its functional design reflect the masterful texture of imperial architecture. In Balat, one of the oldest districts of Istanbul, the city of churches, this fountain is a silent witness to more than fifteen hundred years of history. To understand the spirit of Istanbul, take a walk through Balat's narrow streets; the fountain of the Panagia Blachernae is one of the points where layers of culture meet.
