Story
On Şeyh Şaban-ı Veli Avenue, the beating heart of Kastamonu, this fountain has borne witness to the city's social life from past centuries down to today. An elegant example of Ottoman water architecture, it brings together the depth of stone craftsmanship and the solidity of its masonry. Standing along the avenue, the structure has also served a documentary function through its Ottoman Turkish inscriptions. Şeyh Şaban-ı Veli was a renowned Sufi leader who settled in Kastamonu in the 13th century, and this fountain is a tangible manifestation of his spiritual legacy. One point worth noting: the architectural harmony around the fountain and the dialogue it strikes with the avenue's other historic buildings are important for showing Kastamonu's organic urban fabric. On your visit, photographing the fountain as it bathes in light in the morning or evening hours, and observing the old buildings around it and the daily life along the avenue, will offer a complete Kastamonu experience.
