Drinking fountain of Ahmed III, in front of the Topkapi Palace, Sultanahmet, Istanbul
For brief description see Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topkap%C4%B1_Palace
"The great square fountain is a Rococo building in front of the palace gate that was built under Sultan Ahmed III in 1728. It was a social centre and gathering place. Each of the four facades contain a drinking fountain (çeşme), flanked by niches and decorated in low relief with foliate and floral designs. On each corner is a triple-grilled sebil (water tank from which an attendant issued cups of water from behind a grille). Above the drinking fountains is an elegant frieze with a long poem in calligraphy, dedicated to water, framed in blue and red bands. The roof is formed by a central dome, rising from an octagonal drum, and a little turret on each of the four corners. The ceiling is elaborately panelled."
