German Fountain

The German Fountain is a fountain situated between Hippodrome and Sultanahmet in Istanbul. The German Fountain , German Emperor II. gave it as a gift to Abdulhamit after the expedition to the east by Wilhelm in the nineteenth century. The top of the fountain is open and it has a single dome. Each part of the dome of the octagonal domed structure has a medallion on the green ground. The fountain was brought here after it was built in Germany. German and Italian architects worked together.
