Remains of a Turkish fountain in Rethymnon, Crete, Greece.


Remains of a Turkish fountain sit squat on top of a modern wall, without any water source. It was brought here from the corner of Patriárchou Grigoríou Street, where it had been first moved when Psilláki Street was being laid out. This fountain was originally erected in 1863 by Yunus Aga’s son, Ethem Bey, and consists of a large plinth, four recesses crowned by low arches, and an inscription with a fine carving.
