Sebilj. This is an old traditional public fountain on a main Sarajevo’s old square “Baščaršija”. Ink/Pocket NB. I definitely need beter camera or scanner.
It still exists and works fine. In fact they recently did some restoration works and slightly reshaped it in the process of face-lifting. It’s working just fine, but it is not really a fountain – it has 3 public water-taps to comfort thirsty passers-by. However, city guide keep referring to Sebilj as “fountain”…
Before the war, Sarajevo donated exact replica to Belgrade (so one can be found on Skadarlija – the old Belgrade quarter)

I immediately recognized it, it must be 30 years since I last visited Serajevo. It still exists!
