2008, 4. Uluslararası Sinan Sempozyumu: Su ve Mimarlık

Water related buildings, e.g. sebils, fountains, pools, canals etc, in Ottoman architecture, has many different variations and form in time. But, the number of this kind of buildings gradually increased in the first half of the 18 th century (i.e. Ahmed III and Mahmud I period). Many sebils and fountains are on the most dramatic corners of the city; they have different plans; the façades are full of ornamental relief and they are more decorative in all sense than previous ones. They have wide eaves projecting over all façades of the buildings; and domes with high drums.
