Hoşyar Kadın Fountain, Ottoman fountain in Beyoğlu district, Istanbul, Turkey.

The fountain displays traditional Ottoman architecture with detailed stone carvings, geometric patterns, and floral motifs adorning its marble surface.

Built during the Ottoman Empire, this water source was commissioned by Hoşyar Kadın, a consort of Sultan Mahmud II who died in Mecca in 1859.

The fountain demonstrates the Ottoman tradition of public water access, where such structures served both for religious ablutions and community gatherings.

Located at coordinates 41.040306, 28.973543 in the Hacıahmet neighborhood, the fountain remains functional and provides water to local residents.

Following her time in the imperial harem, Hoşyar Kadın commissioned this fountain along with several other public works including a school and mosque.
