Hatice Turhan Valide Sultan Sabil and Fountain
Hatice Turhan Valide Sultan Cesme and Sabil are located in Istanbul / Eminonu.

In 1597, III. Mehmet's mother, Safiye Sultan, invites Architect Davut Ağa to her presence and orders him to build a social complex in Eminönü for his sake and on his behalf.

After a short while, Architect Dalgıç Ahmet Ağa is assigned as a result of the death of Architect Davut Ağa. However, due to various events, this construction takes a very long time. It wouldn't be lucky for him to see the end.

Kösem Sultan, who continued the construction after that, would not be able to see its completion. And finally, in 1673, Hatice Turhan Valide Sultan could complete this great complex.
The work was completed by Architect Mustafa Ağa.

Kulliye; It consists of Yeni Mosque, Hünkar Pavilion, darül kura, muvakkit household, school, Spice Bazaar, tomb, fountain and fountain.

At the corner where Şeyhülislam and Bankacılar Streets meet in Bahçekapı, this fountain and fountain are located side by side under a wide eaves.

The fountain consists of three windows made of cast iron, separated by four marble columns, decorated with networks, each of which has seven places to give water. There are pointed arches made of colored stones above the windows. The interior of the arches and the spaces between them are embroidered with relief ornaments. The inside of the dispenser is equipped with tiles.

Cesme and Sebil, the former post office, and the &quot;Mehpâre&quot; (Hûsn-i İntihab) store located between the current Türkiye İş Bankası (Dârü'l kurra at the place of İşbank at that time) were completely burned in 1902 as a result of the fire. The tiles in the interior have been completely destroyed.

It was restored in accordance with its old architecture by the Ministry of Asar-ı Atika Museums and the Ministry of Evkaf, under the supervision of Museum Director Osman Hamdi Bey.   

However, Hatice Turhan Valide Sultan Sabil, which became unusable over time,  was reopened to the service of our people on 14 July 2003 as a result of the restoration work undertaken by our Association and carried out with great devotion and meticulousness by the late Architect Aydın Gün, and a team of approximately 100 people worked until its completion.
