The Sebilj is an iconic Ottoman-style wooden drinking fountain situated at the center of Baščaršija square, the heart of Sarajevo's old bazaar. First constructed in 1753 by Mehmed Pasha Kukavica and rebuilt in 1891 by Alexander Wittek, it serves as the ultimate symbol of the city. Flanked by traditional copper workshops, lively cafes, and famous flocks of pigeons, it remains a beloved community gathering spot for locals and travelers.
