Kurshun Faucet

Tourist attraction Historical landmark

😠 I am indignant that since I have known this cultural fortress, it has not been maintained by anyone. It has not been possible to find someone to refresh it in some way. There are no such sponsors. People from the neighborhood should take some care. It is a pity for the city and the neighborhood that... People often mention fountain, lead,

    It is also called the "Lead Fountain" because of the roof made of lead sheets! According to the legend, the Sultan ordered the wars to stop, the bullets to be melted down and the lead plates to be made for the roof of the fountain.

  • 4/5 Mihail G. 2 years ago on Google • 722 reviews
    One of the interesting historical sites in the city with a preserved authentic inscription in the Old Turkish language. This monument is located in a micro neighborhood garden with great chestnut trees and is a suitable place to relax on hot summer days. For those with children there is also a small playground.

  • 5/5 Zikri M. 5 years ago on Google • 706 reviews
    The magnificent fountain built by Şerif Halil Pasha in 1774. (This Şerif Halil Pasha is said to be the hero of the saying "You became a Pasha, but you could not become a man" in our language.) It is 1-2 m above the road passing next to it and in the middle of a small park. Unfortunately, its water It doesn't flow. It got its name from the lead that formed its roof when it was first built. I wish its waters would flow so that anyone passing by could drink it.

    (Translated by Google) Terribly neglected, if there was no way to get to it we would not have found it..once 100 years ago it was a great fountain, but not today. (Original) Ужасно занемарена, ако нямаше опътване как се стига до нея нямаше да я намерим..някога преди 100 години е била страхотна чешма, но не и днес.

    The fountain is a historical and architectural monument. It was built in 1774. Its main part has been preserved in its original form. It is called Kurşum çeşme /kurşun çeşme/ because it was originally covered with lead plates /in Turkish - kurşun is lead/. Later, the lead plates were replaced by roof tiles. A small park has been built around the fountain.
