Water & fountains · Western courtyard opposite Al-Ashrafiyya
An octagonal Ottoman fountain with a domed center and a surrounding canopy. [1]
The fountain stands opposite Al-Ashrafiyya in a slightly sunken setting. Its octagonal form, helmet-like dome and surrounding wooden canopy distinguish it from the taller masonry sabil of Qaytbay. [1]
Awqaf associates it with the Ottoman governor Qasim Pasha and records a restoration in 1997. The alternative name Sabil al-Mahkama reflects its proximity to the court and Chain Gate area. [1]
