Ayazma
Also known as: Gulhane Fountain
An ayazma (from Greek ἁγίασμα, 'the sanctified') is a holy spring or sacred water shrine rooted in Eastern Orthodox Christian tradition, typically associated with miraculous or curative properties dating back to the Byzantine era. Such sites were often incorporated into church or monastery complexes and remain active pilgrimage points where the faithful draw water for blessings and rites. The precise location and history of this particular site are unclear from available data — the city designation 'Byzantion' suggests a link to Byzantine sacred geography, but the details require on-site verification.
