Yusuf Şucaeddin Camii Çeşmesi, Ottoman fountain in Balat, Turkey
The Yusuf Şucaeddin Camii Çeşmesi fountain displays traditional Ottoman architectural elements with stone carvings and water spouts in the Fatih district.
The fountain served the local community during the Ottoman period when Balat was a predominantly Jewish quarter established by Sultan Bayezid II in the 15th century.
Located in the UNESCO-listed Historic Areas of Istanbul, the fountain represents the public water infrastructure that connected different religious communities in Balat.
Visitors can reach the fountain by taking public buses from Taksim Square to Balat stop, which takes approximately 20 minutes.
The fountain stands at the intersection of steep streets surrounded by traditional wooden houses painted in different colors characteristic of the Balat neighborhood.
