The name 'Sari Guzel,' alive in historical records and popular memory, whether the name of a benefactor or of an important local figure, has made this structure unique. Revealing the artistic and technical achievement of Ottoman-era water architecture, this fountain continues to be one of Fatih's landmark points.
