Four-Sided Fountain (Babaeski)
Babaeski, Kırklareli
A domed, four-sided cut-stone square fountain in the Babaeski bazaar.
Its story
The Four-Sided Fountain (Dört Yüzlü Çeşme) is also known as the Meydan or Fatih Fountain. Because its inscriptions have been scraped off, its construction date is debated; Evliya Çelebi mentions a fountain in the bazaar in the 17th century, while other sources point to the 17th or 19th century. The square-plan, domed structure has pointed-arched niches on all four sides; today only the north side flows. It is seen on a short walk in the town center together with the Babaeski Hammam and the Cedid Ali Paşa Mosque.
