İhramcı Mehmet Sıddık Efendi Çeşmesi
İhramcı Mehmet Sıddık Efendi Çeşmesi stands in Istanbul’s Fatih district, within the Yavuz Sultan Selim neighbourhood, opposite Gül Mosque. Its stone structure presents a simple Ottoman design. The fountain stands beside Adile Sultan School, placing religious and educational landmarks around this architectural feature. Its position brings a mosque, a school and an old water structure together in one Istanbul streetscape.
A pilgrim named Mehmet Sıddık Efendi arranged the fountain’s repair, connecting it with a local act of preservation. The original inscription has disappeared. A surviving inscription praises wealth spent in the way of Allah, expressing the value of charitable giving. Water no longer flows from the fountain, leaving its stone body and remaining words as tangible traces of its past.
