A sebil, a public drinking-water fountain, fronts the Turabi Baba Türbesi in the Kasımpaşa quarter of İstanbul's Beyoğlu district. The tomb is of load-bearing masonry with brick-faced outer walls and carries its inscription on the building itself. It has kept its original architecture to a large extent and is registered as a cultural property.
