It was built by Bezmialem Valide Sultan, one of the famous Ottoman Sultan's mothers, known for her charitable works in Arabia and Iraq. In addition to Valideçeşme, there are 11 other fountains of her in Istanbul.

The frieze part decorated with reliefs under the eaves consists of columns, inscriptions and ornamental slab. In the middle of the frieze, Sultan Abdülmecit's tughra decorated with a motif attracts attention. Decorations in shapes such as torches and leaves were brought to the fore.
