Destination

Çark

A mill was built on today’s Çark Suyu between 1581-1585 to meet the needs of Ada Karyesi. In place of this mill, which served for nearly 250 years, in 1734 the philanthropist Devoğlu Mustafa had a primitive “water wheel”/“çark” built and ditches-canals opened, and the water of Çark was carried to the Orta Camii fountain and to Adapazarı as drinking water.
