Yusuf Şucaeddin Mosque Fountain or Balat Fountain (Turkish: Balat Çeşmesi) is an Ottoman period fountain in the Ayvansaray neighborhood of Istanbul's Fatih district.[1] [2] After the Golden Horn coastal road works in the 1980s, it remained in the garden of Yusuf Şucaeddin Mosque. It is made of cut limestone and has a hexagonal shape. It has a large reservoir and a fountain on each of its four sides. It is covered with lead. There is a marble slab in place of the mirror stone. Only one fountain has water flowing.
