Fountain of Uskudar (1729)

Dear emrander,

I am putting together a Google-Earth post on the “History of Islamic Architecture”. This post serves exclusively educational intentions. I or GE do not derive any financial gain from it. With this in mind I ask permission to include your excellent photo of the Üsküdara fountain as an illustration of an important Islamic building, which is not otherwise documented with equal quality in the literature or the internet.

Your photo will be given full credit by name and a link to this Panoramio page. You can inspect my GE post and download it by searching for “RWFG” in the GE-BBS Community. Unfortunately the direct internet link to my post is too long for inclusion in this message.

Thank you most sincerely Rolf Gross (RWFG)

Located opposite the fountain in the Üsküdar Quay, at the Tulip Revolution (in 1729) by Ahmed III rd, in Üsküdar was built to commemorate Sultan medfun Emetullah Gülnuş mother. So far, this has been restored several times in every corner of the historic fountain and one each from each side to a total of eight taps are available.

Üsküdar İskelesi'nin hemen karşısında bulunan bu çeşme, Lale Devri'nde (1729 yılında) III ncü Ahmed tarafından, Üsküdar'da medfun annesi Gülnuş Emetullah Sultan anısına yaptırılmıştır. Bugüne kadar birçok kez restore edilmiş olan bu tarihi çeşmenin her köşesinde ve her kenarında birer tane olmak üzere toplam sekiz adet musluğu mevcuttur.

Dear Rolf It ok to use it for the mentioned purpose regards. Emre
