In Istanbul, beside Anadoluhisarı, there are Goksu and Kucuksu Streams. In foreign sources, these streams are called Asian Valley of The Sweet Waters. The shores of these streams and the meadows around it were used as a recreation area of Istanbul in the past. These are called Küçüksu and Göksu Promenade. In addition, the engraving also includes the Kucukksu Mihrisah Valide Sultan Fountain (Goksu Fountain) and a part of the Kucuksu Pavilion. Kucuksu Mihrisah Valide Sultan Fountain was built by Selim III for his mother Mihrisah Sultan in 1807 in baroque and empire style.
