The Yunus-Emre fountain in the Türkenschanzpark in Vienna was donated by the Republic of Turkey and ceremoniously handed over to the city of Vienna on October 11, 1991 by the Turkish ambassador Ayhan Kamel. The fountain, which is dedicated to the Turkish folk poet and mystic Yunus Emre (died around 1321), is a symbol of friendship and international understanding and is therefore one of the few monuments that seeks to express the connection and not the separation between the former opponents .

It is a very beautiful fountain in the “Türkenschanzpark”. It is a fantastic architectural work of art. There are so many small details, simply magnificent.
