Story
The Abdulmecid Efendi Mansion Fountain is a landmark where the history and architecture of Uskudar are intertwined. Built in the 19th century during the modernization period of the Ottoman Empire, this fountain is both a practical structure that supplied water and a work of art. While the fountain's stonework reflects the elegance of the Ottoman architectural tradition, it bears quiet witness to Uskudar's magnificent panorama on the Anatolian side of the Bosphorus. One of the classic Ottoman fountain types, this structure carried the water and the voice of past centuries into the present, and was also a place where thousands of travelers drank water and made their wishes. The richly textured appearance of the marble and stone used in the structure takes on different tones in the blue light of the Bosphorus. As an example of the success of Ottoman water engineering, it is also striking that the fountain is still functional. Escape the crowded streets of Uskudar, rest a while in this quiet corner, and do not miss the chance to observe it in the light of past centuries.
