The island of
Chios was conquered by the Kaptan-ı Derya Piyale Pasha from the Venetian and
Genoese in 1566 and then joined the Ottoman administration. The island remained
under Ottoman rule until 1912. Evliya Çelebi mentions the presence of 7
fountains and one sebil in the city of Chios when he visited the island. We
have determined that 6 fountains and 1 fountain were standing in the field
studies that we made on the island within the scope of various projects in
different years. Melek Mehmet Pasha (1767), Sultan Abdülhamit Khan (1900)
fountains, and the fountain near the Captain Ali Aga fortress, which has only
traces to the present day, are the detached fountains. The Mecidiye Fountain
(1845), built in the courtyard of Sultan Abdülmecit Mosque, belongs to the
group of individual fountains with a water treasure. The remaining two
fountains are examples of the classical period adjacent to the wall. The last
example is the sebil with nozzle that was built in 1874. There are no detailed
studies to date except for a few articles which have been mentioned in domestic
and foreign publications about only two of these fountains. It is important
because it is the first study that deals with all the fountains on the island
with their history and architecture. The façade and plan drawings of these 7
fountains examined in the paper will be presented with dimensions and inscription
information. Some of the archive documents were also reached. In the light of
the data we have obtained, the historical and architectural features of the
fountains will be explained and compared with similar examples in Anatolia and
the Balkans.
