Its story
The Hamidiye Clock Fountain was commissioned on the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the accession of the Ottoman Sultan Abdülhamid II; the date in its inscription corresponds to 1 September 1900. Although it adjoins the graveyard of the Çapanoğlu Mosque, it is a square monument positioned to face the bazaar. The pentagonal fountain of white cut stone has five spouts; in the niche at the very top is a clock with a round dial. The inscriptions and motifs on the facade were scraped off in 1937. It is a few steps from the Clock Tower.
