A cut-stone square fountain in Bayrampaşa on the Rami–Edirnekapı axis, built in 1752 by Grand Vizier Köse Bahir Mustafa Paşa.
Its story
The fountain was built as a square fountain (meydan çeşmesi) by Grand Vizier Köse Bahir Mustafa Paşa in AH 1166 (AD 1752). Located on the historic axis between Rami and Edirnekapı, the structure is built of cut stone. Its facade bears a construction inscription written in thuluth (sülüs) script. Next to it is also a repair inscription dated AH 1304 (AD 1886). Now surrounded by dense urban fabric, the fountain is one of the few monumental Ottoman water structures to have survived in the district.
