Ebezâde Abdullah Efendi Fountain
The Ebezâde Abdullah Efendi Fountain (Turkish: Ebezâde Abdullah Efendi Çeşmesi), also known as the Ebezâde Fountain or the Hatice Hanım Fountain, is a fountain located in the Fatih district of Istanbul, Turkey. It was commissioned by Hatice Hanım, the wife of Ebezâde Abdullah Efendi, in 1722 or 1723. In 1882 or 1883, it was restored in the name of Köstenceli al-Hajj Ismail Agha and rebuilt in brick. A restoration inscription was added above the original construction inscription. According to a 1943 publication, the fountain was no longer functional at that time and has remained out of use since then. It is located in the Atikali neighborhood. Most of its mirror stone, nozzle, basin, and seating platforms are buried underground. Except for the mirror stone and construction inscription, the fountain consists of a brick wall flanked on both sides by pilasters. Some brick rows on the façade protrude from the rest of the wall. The marble construction inscription above the mirror stone is surrounded on the sides and top by a border made of tiles, some of which still survive today. The inscription text, divided into eight cartouches, is arranged in two columns and four lines. The rectangular marble restoration inscription, placed above the lower border and containing two lines of text, is no longer extant.
