(History of Mehmet the Conquerer 2.55)
He (Mehmet II) also ordered them (the overseers of construction work) to construct splendid and costly baths and through aqueducts to bring into the City from the countryside an abundance of water. Many other such things he also ordered to be done for the building up and beautifying of the City, and for the benefit and needs and comfort of the inhabitants.
