Turkish fountain, located in the center of Taman, - it is the only source in the province of condensate water. A large monument on the Taman Peninsula was built here during the reign of the Ottoman Empire and is the only attraction of this period.

According to research scientists, the age of a Turkish fountain is less than 300 years, with the exact date of construction of this unique monument is still unknown.

The device is surprisingly interesting fountain. It was created artificially. Turkish fountain is among the hot sand in a shallow depression. Scientists are always interested in one question, where there is water, the sand around the same one ?! After a while it became clear that the fountain is located at the bottom of a dried lake. Earlier, the pond was a place of temporary camps and settlements of ancient mariners. Here the city was founded Hermonassa. Currently parched lake is a common lowland sand, which in the middle of a green oasis and placed Turkish fountain.

Initially, there was an assumption that the water in it comes from an artesian well. As it turned out, the Ottoman Turks 300 years ago paved in sand multimeter system of ceramic pipes, which extends far enough to the water source. The researchers also noticed that the pipe somehow themselves able to collect rainwater, because after the rain Turkish wells are filled more quickly. The water in the fountain there, even in summer, because the pipeline system is not heated above 20 ° C, and moist wind from the sea brings water only in the form of steam, soaking in the sand and in the pipes of the fountain, it condenses. That's such an interesting method of working and the source.

Turkish fountain has the form of a small house inside which made a small recess with a tap where you can get water. Outside the walls of the house shows the heroes of legend.
