Its story
Kaval Fountain is an Ottoman fountain among the old Manisa neighborhoods at the foot of Spil. The inscription on its face stone records that the fountain was commissioned in 1480-1481 by Hacı Mehmet, son of Mübarek, and Hacı Yakup, son of İbrahim, and was repaired in 1885-1886. With a history of more than five centuries, it is an early example of the city's water architecture. It can be seen on a short walk together with the nearby Lala Paşa Mosque Fountain and the Fatih Fountain.
