anfeda Hâtun Fountain is located at the opposite of Orhan Gazi Mosque. On rectangular legend of the fountain, which has been repaired and its reservoir section has reinforced concrete plaster, there is the date of Hegira 1242 and Gregorian 1826 written with calligraphy. The fountain had been repaired in 1826 by Su'âda, the treasurer master of the palace of II. Mahmut. The attendants taking care of the works of the married daughters of sultans and princes in Ottoman period were called kethüda (chamberlain). The information related to when Canfeda Kadýn lived and when she has built the fountain is not certain. When the resources are checked, the name of Canfeda Kadýn, who was the chamberlain of harem during III. Murad (sultanate 1574-1595) and odalisque of Nûrbanu Valide Sultan, can be seen.
anfeda Hâtun Çeþmesi Orhan Gazi Camisi’nin karþýsýnda bulunmaktadýr. Onarým gören ve hazne bölümü betonarme sývalý olan çeþmenin dikdörtgen kitabesinde sülüs yazýsýyla yazýlmýþ Hicri 1242, Miladi 1826 tarihi mevcuttur. Çeþme II. Mahmut sarayýnýn hazinedar ustasý Su’âda tarafýndan 1826 yýlýnda tamir ettirilmiþtir. Osmanlý döneminde sultanlarýn ve þehzadelerin evlendirilen kýzlarýnýn dairelerindeki iþlere bakan görevlilere kethüda denirdi. Canfeda Kadýn’ýn ne zaman yaþadýðýna ve çeþmesini ne zaman yaptýrdýðýna dair bilgiler kesin deðildir. Kaynaklara bakýldýðýnda III. Murad (saltanatý 1574–1595) döneminde harem kethüdasý ve Nûrbanu Valide Sultan’ýn cariyesi olan Canfeda Kadýn’ýn adýna rastlanýr.
