Ayrılık Çeşmesi, Ottoman fountain in Kadıköy, Turkey.
Located at the start of the old Baghdad expedition route, this stone fountain features three water troughs and decorative architectural elements.
Gazanfer Ağa commissioned the fountain in the early 1600s, and it underwent restorations by Ahmed Ağa in 1741 and Dürriye Sultan in 1921.
The fountain marked the location where families bid farewell to travelers, pilgrims, and military expeditions departing from Istanbul toward Baghdad.
The fountain remains accessible at street level following restoration work by Kadıköy Municipality, with a Marmaray station nearby for easy access.
Two historical inscriptions on the fountain document its repairs in Islamic calendar years 1154 and 1340, preserving its chronological evolution.
