Bakhchisaray Fountain
The Bakhchisaray Fountain, also called the Fountain of Tears, is a marble wall fountain in the Khan's Palace at Bakhchysarai in Crimea, made in 1764 by the Persian master Omer for Khan Qırım Giray. Water drips slowly from one small bowl to the next, a symbol of endless grief. Pushkin's poem about it made it famous in Russian culture.
