Hamidiye Fountain with Clock

The fountain is located on the outer wall of the eastern cemetery of the Çapanoğlu Mosque. The Fountain with the Clock was built on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Sultan Abdul Hamid II’s accession to the throne in 1900. On the lower part of the clock, there is the Coat of Arms of the Ottoman Empire showing the crossed swords, the flags, the scales and the star and the crescent as symbols of justice, equality and freedom. The fountain is one of the most beautifully ornamented fountains in Anatolia.
