Famed as one of the most beautiful fountains of the Tulip Age, it was restored in its original form by the treasurer Azm-i Cemal upon the command of Bezmiâlem Valide Sultan.
Originally located next to Bereketzade Mosque, it later moved to the square around Galata Tower. The single-face wall fountain is adorned with flower motifs and a relief of bowls and peaches from 1732, similar to those in Ahmet III’s Fruit Room in the Topkapı Palace.
