Description
Jerusalem - Sabeel Qaitbay (Mamluk Era) at Al Aqsa courtyard in 1870s.
Sultan Saif Ad-Din Ennal built this sabeel in 860 AH/1456 AD. As only a well had remained of its original structure, the Mamluk Sultan Qaitbay reconstructed it and added a colorful brick and marble floored building, topped with an octagonal dome ornamented with Islamic motifs. The sabeel was renovated again by the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II in 1300 AH/1882-1883 AD. Today, it is made up of two floors; a well is situated on the ground floor and a tank used for storing water on the second.
