Hiking

The fountain was a gift from Sultan Abdulhamid II and was erected in 1900 to commemorate the 1898 visit of German Emperor Wilhelm II to Istanbul. It was manufactured in Germany and sent to Istanbul in individual parts to be assembled there at its current location. The Neo-Byzantine octagonal dome is supported by eight marble columns. The interior of the dome is decorated with golden mosaics.
