Abstract: U?ak, which is located in the Aegean Region’s inner western Anatolia part, is divided into five districts. The city has 265 villages affiliated to central the villages and districts. The land studies were conducted in ninety villages affiliated to the province center in 2014-2016, and 75 fountains were identified. The fountains located in the U?ak central villages have a single fa?ade design, unlike the examples in the city center. In physical form, the mass is usually a vertical rectangle. Some of the fountains are without belts and are shaped like a rectangular mass. The main element of the facade’s composition is a pointed, semi-circular, flat or sliced arch. In a small number of cases, horizontal rectangular samples are also found. The second elements after the arches in the facade composition are the plasterers. 28 of the fountains in the central villages have a vertical rectangle and 2 half-cylindrical shaped plaster. Another element of facade architecture in fountain architecture is mirror stones. The mirror stone of 17 of the 22 fountains with a mirror stone is the re-used marble, 1 is marble and the other is cutting stone. The water coming from the fountain to the fountain at 66 is constantly flowing from a metal pipe. While some fountains are fitted with a modern battery or plastic pipe after repairs, there are no faucets or pipes today in some of the fountains that are dysfunctional. In the 47 fountains in the central villages, square, rectangular shape; pointed, sliced or semicircular arched ones. Only 29 of the 75 fountains have inscriptions. It is dated to the beginning of the 18th century and the first half of the 20th century, according to the fountain scrolls and architectural features. Only 12 of the 75 fountains in U?ak central villages are registered. Despite the fact that the examples of fountains in U?ak central villages vary in terms of the mass formation, they draw attention with their single facade design in terms of facade features. In our study, a typology evaluation was carried out with the locations, physical formations and architectural details of these fountains. In our evaluation of typology, we stated four main groups according to the positions and their physical formations, then subgroups of each group were formed
