The Sebilj is an Ottoman-style wooden fountain (sebil) in the centre of Baščaršija Square in Sarajevo built by Mehmed Pasha Kukavica in 1753. It was relocated by the Austrian architect Alexander Wittek in 1891.[1] According to local legend, visitors who drink water from the fountain will return to Sarajevo someday.[2]
