The German Fountain, a Byzantine Revival structure designed by Max Spitta, stands in Fatih's Sultanahmet Square at the northern end of the former Hippodrome of Constantinople, opposite the Mausoleum of Sultan Ahmed I. Built in 1900 to commemorate German Emperor Wilhelm II's visit to Istanbul two years earlier, the gazebo-styled fountain was constructed in Germany and transported piece by piece before assembly on site. Its octagonal dome rests on eight marble columns, while the interior is adorned with golden mosaics, exemplifying the ornamental richness of the neo-Byzantine style.
