    (Translated by Google) This fountain under the wall of Mihrimat Sultan Mosque in Iskele Square in Uskudar is covered with marble made in classical style. Alternately colored marble is used in his belt. Large rosettes are seen in the side spaces. There is also a small rosette on the mirror stone. Although his wrecked boat and its embankments have been repaired in recent years, its water has been cut off. On the upper edge of the fountain, there is a sill decorated with relief motifs extending from one side to the other. The inscription is located between this sill and the arch. "Habbezâ menba'-i âb-I animal" “Teşne-tongues are always intermingled” “Mihrimah Sultan that Belkis-meşreb” “He had made it the place of his water” “Virdi Hak is the mother in this date again” “Your fountain of life” (1092) (Original) Üsküdar’da İskele Meydanı’nda Mihrimat Sultan camii’nin duvarı altındaki bu çeşme klâsik tarzda yapılmış mermerle kaplanmıştır. Kemerinde münavebeli olarak renkli mermer kullanılmıştır. Yan boşluklarında birer büyük rozet görülmektedir. Ayna taşında da küçük bir rozet vardır. Harap olan teknesi ve sedleri son yıllarda tamir edilmişse de suyu kesilmiştir. Çeşmenin üst kenarında bir boydan bir boya uzanan kabartma motiflerle süslü, bir pervaz vardır. Kitabe bu pervaz ile kemer arasında yer almaktadır. ” Habbezâ menba’-ı âb-I hayvan” “ Teşne-diller içe her dem mâsın” “ Mihrimah Sultan o Belkis-meşreb” “ Yapmış idi suyunun mecrâsın” “ Virdi Hak yine bu târihde ana” “ Çeşme-ı âb-ı hayat icrâsın” (1092)

    Beside the Mihrimah Sultan Mosque this is a place which was built to supply water for the neighbourhood. Mihrimah Sultan was the daughter of Sultan Suliman and was famous for her charitable work and this is one of her charitable work. Hundred of years ago when people find it difficult to have a drinking water, arrangements of this kind is really a blessing for the area. Specially a area which was less developed in that time

    Mihrimah Sultan Çocuk Kütüphanesinin altındaki Vakıflar Üsküdar Satış Şubesinin içindedir. Önünde zeytin tenekeleri olduğu için görünmüyor. Sadece kitabesi görünüyor.

    Bir süredir restorasyon çalışmaları devam eden Üsküdar sahilinde bulunan bu cami buradan yolu geçenlerin gözdesi halinde.çatısından kuşlar eksik olmayan bu yerin tam karşısında marmarayın Üsküdar durağı yer almakta. Karşı çaprazda ise vapur iskelesi bulunuyor.

    The Mihrimah Sultan Fountain, also known as the Üsküdar Mihrimah Sultan Fountain, is a historical fountain located in the Üsküdar district of Istanbul, Turkey. Like the Mihrimah Sultan Mosque, the fountain was commissioned by Mihrimah Sultan, the daughter of the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. The fountain was built in the same period with the mosque and it is located right next to the mosque. The fountain is an important example of Ottoman architectural and engineering history, and like the mosque, it was designed by the famous Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan. The fountain is a multi-level structure made of stone and marble, and features a central basin and several smaller basins and pools. The fountain is decorated with intricate tilework and calligraphy and is noted for its unique design and aesthetic appeal. It is also a social and cultural center during the Ottoman Empire time, where people gather to drink water, have a rest and chit-chat. Also, it served as a public bath as well. Now, it is an attractive place for visitors who visit Üsküdar and Mihrimah Sultan Mosque. It is an important part of the Mihrimah Sultan complex and considered as an architectural and cultural heritage. Unfortunately, it is not functional as a fountain nowadays and it is not allowed to drink water from it. But visitors still can enjoy the beauty and the history of the fountain.

(Original) Üsküdar da , Kanuni Sultan Süleyman nin kızı Mihrimah Sultan in mimar Sinan a yaptırdığı cami, arka tarafında minik bir mezarlık var, avlusunda tek bir mezar var kime ait yazılı değil, Mihrimah tıp merkezi hizmet vermeye devam ediyor

    (Translated by Google) Both the mosque and its location are so beautiful that it is one of the mosques that should definitely be visited and worshiped. (Original) Hem cami hem bulunduğu yer okadar güzel ki kesinlikle gidilip görülmesi ibadet edilmesi gereken camilerden

    (Translated by Google) A value hidden from the magnificence of the fountain in the square. Even I just realized. (Original) Meydan daki çeşmenin ihtişamlı olmasından gizli kalmış bir değer. Ben bile yeni farkına vardım.

    (Translated by Google) The water is not flowing, the race is under the road (Original) Yarışı yolun altında kalmış su akmiyor

    What an amazing place historically and architecturally. Having said that it, was hard to reconcile all the items on the information board with what actually still stands today. Hardly surprising given the 500 years between construction and present day but perhaps a notation somewhere.
