After the conquest, when it was realized that the drinking water in the city was unhealthy, a new system was established to provide clean drinking water to the city and to distribute the water, and fountains were built in appropriate places. In the 16th century, there is no trace of the water canals built, but it was tried to meet the drinking water needs of the people by providing continuous water to the fountains from the reservoirs placed on the walls of the city walls. The structure known as Kuru fountain is located in the highest coded area on the western side of the city. It was built with its ridge attached to the inner wall of the city walls and gave its name to one of the alleys leading down to the square. At the entrance of the street opposite, there is a pole with Masder's directional signs.
