Horhor Fountain, Ottoman fountain in Fatih district, Istanbul, Turkey.

The Horhor Fountain features three round arches carved from limestone and stands below street level on Kırma Tulumba Street.

Built during Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror's reign, this fountain received renovations in 2021 to restore its water flow and original materials.

The fountain displays cypress tree motifs and sword symbols, connecting it to the Janissary corps who used it as a source of income.

Located near the Hindiler Dervish Lodge, the first Naqshbandi Lodge in post-conquest Istanbul, the fountain provides water to local residents.

The name Horhor derives from the sound of water flowing through tunnels, which people heard from nearby tower windows.
