Between the building containing the shrine, semahane and mosque and the opposing row of cells there is an ablutions fountain or şadırvan. It was built by Sultan Selim I (1512-20) and repaired in 1595 and 1868. Its canopy, demolished in 1929, was rebuilt in 1988-90 based on the original design. The octagonal pool with its marble spigot was the gathering place for ceremonies on the anniversaries of Mevlana's death.
