RussiaWhat to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting
The Turkish fountain, or more precisely, the Turkish well, is a historical landmark, and it is still operating. It was built in the XV century, as it is obviously easy to guess, by Turkish engineers. It applied innovative ideas for that time, thanks to which this source of drinking water appeared in this waterless place. The essence of the idea was simple: water gets here by condensation from the air on the walls of ceramic pipes that stretch from the fountain for many kilometers.
Today the well is a monument of federal importance, and is still in working condition. You can even collect water, however, you can not vouch for its purity now. The fact is that the ceramic pipes eventually collapsed, they began to get rainwater with streams of dirt. Nevertheless, you can visit the fountain as a historical monument.
🕐 Working hours
access to the inside for water collection is open from 07:30 to 10:00 and from 15:00 to 17:00, Monday and Sunday are closed. If you are not going to collect water, but just want to look at the attraction, then you can explore it at any time.
