Sabil Abu Nabbut, Ottoman public fountain in Jaffa, Israel.
Sabil Abu Nabbut is a rectangular stone structure with three domes, a central fountain, and white marble columns along its western side, built from kurkar stone. The building sits at the heart of a park surrounded by gardens that frame its historical form.
Governor Muhammad Abu Nabbut built this fountain in 1815 to serve travelers moving between Jaffa and Jerusalem. It was created as part of infrastructure improvements during that period.
The fountain displays Ottoman design elements with cylindrical piers and domed structures integrated into local kurkar stone. These architectural features reflect building traditions that shaped the region over centuries.
The site sits within Abu Nabut Park and is easily reached by public transportation. Visitors can explore the area freely during daylight hours and use the park as a place to rest.
A sculpture garden by artist Yigal Tumarkin has surrounded the fountain since 2000, blending Ottoman architecture with contemporary Israeli art. This mix of old and new makes the spot an unexpected meeting point of history and modern expression.
