Fountain of Ahmed III, Ottoman fountain in Üsküdar, Turkey.
The marble structure exhibits an octagonal shape with four wide facades, four narrow corner facades, and a square-pyramid roof covered in lead sheets.
Initially situated at the Bosphorus waterfront in 1728, the fountain was relocated to İskele Square near Mihrimah Sultan Mosque during the area redesign of 1932.
The fountain features Arabic script inscriptions on its facades, containing verses from poets Nedîm, Şakir, and Kırımlı Mustafa Rahmi, along with words from Sultan Ahmed III.
Multiple faucets within lancet arches serve different purposes, with lower ones for bucket filling and ritual washing, while higher faucets provide drinking water.
The fountain transforms from an octagonal base to a square top through muqarnas decorations, displaying relief flower patterns of tulips, roses, and chrysanthemums.
