Fontaine from Ottoman era, one of the symbols of the city, it is also a meeting point

Visited here in August 2019. Beautiful architecture. Around it, there are so many business, especially icecream shops. Pigeons are everywhere. The aroma of the grilled meat from the nearby restaurant is so attempting and inviting. I prefer to come here after dark, when lights up, the noise and tourists are disappeared, except once a while, there are colorful trolleys passing by but nothing else. The fountain is alone there showing me its beauty as if telling me its stories.

Ottoman fountain in the middle of the main bazaar area. A local shared that if one were to drink from the fountain, they'd be keen to return to Sarajevo. Common to see hundreds of pigeons around being fed.

Peaceful. Perfect place for breakfast and dinner.

This place is in the middle of the bascarsija. It is a good place to get profile photos because it has nice landscape view with mountains behind.

Words cannot come close to how much I adore this beautiful fountain!!! It is so beautiful, sitting there at the very end of Baščaršija in all its glory. There’s nothing better than walking through what many nickname Pigeon Square and sitting down for a cup of Bosnian coffee and watching all the people pass by and take photos. Truly the symbol of Sarajevo! It’s said if u drink from it you will return to Sarajevo. Can never get enough of this fountain.

I recently visited Sebilj in Sarajevo and was blown away by the beauty and history of this iconic landmark. The Sebilj is a beautiful wooden fountain that serves as a gathering place for locals and tourists alike. It is located in the heart of the old town and is a must-visit attraction for anyone visiting the city. The Sebilj is surrounded by charming cobblestone streets and beautiful architecture, which makes for a picturesque setting. I loved the peaceful atmosphere that this historic landmark exudes, and the fact that it is a symbol of the city's cultural heritage makes it even more special. The Sebilj is also home to many local vendors selling traditional handicrafts, sweets, and souvenirs. It was fascinating to see the local craftsmen at work and to learn about their techniques and traditions. Overall, my experience at Sebilj was amazing, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sarajevo. The beauty, history, and cultural significance of this landmark make it a must-see attraction for anyone interested in exploring the city's rich heritage. Google Maps made it easy for me to find Sebilj and I was delighted to discover this hidden gem of Sarajevo.

Prachtig...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 Austrian architect Alexander Wittek in 1891.[1] According to a local legend, visitors who drink water from this fountain will return to Sarajevo someday.[2]

It's nice. Kinda a little central square.

Nested in the bustling centre of the city. It's the very first drinking water fountain, beautifully decorated - a respectable piece of monument as locals are very proud of their excellent water quality and also their cultural importance of providing water to the people as water is regarded as life. Also even more beautiful as it lights up at night.

Sarajevo landmark. There were many others but this one survived all trials and all tyrants.

Heart of Sarajevo, ❤️ of Europe. Must visit and feel the love of the city, people and places. Walking through the Old City is like time travelling through the history and traditions.

If you visit Sarajevo you must come here 😍😍

Great place, lots of birds, and location is in old town

Its not not only a fountain but a symbol of the city. Its location is just at the beginning of Başçarşı which is heart of the Sarajevo. Around it there many place to drink something especially Bosnian coffee. Should be experienced.

It's beautiful wood fountain The water is good fresh and drinking

Must see, cozy, takes you back to a time long gone

Must visit in a sunny day..People everywhere and birds can surround you any time.

Water fountain in the heart of Baščaršija. Literal translation of "sebilj" from arabic is "a building on the way that has water". There used to be a few sebiljs in Sarajevo. However, because of the fire in 1697, this is the only remaining. As legend has it, if you drink water form the sebilj, you will either stay in Sarajevo or come back. There are a lot of cafes, restaurants and souvenir shops around it.This part of Baščaršija is also known as Pigeon Square so if you don't like pigeons, be aware.

Vibes are amazing, area packed with cafes a and restaurants of wide range, also bakries and small grocery shops in the area.. there’s something for everyone in this place.. lots of souvenirs and place is very lively 👍🏼 Only thing is ☹️ it’s not the cleanest and specially at the end of the day ☹️ so much waste on the grounds

It's a bit crowded during tourists season but worth visiting.

beautiful old town lovly vibe, food was amazing, histrionic mosques and buildings , shopping for traditional items are much cheaper than Mustar.

A nice place in the old city

Beautiful historic landmark in the heart of Sarajevo.

Great sebilj which represents the brotherhood between Turkey and Bosnia and Herzegovina. One of the Sarajevo’s significant landmarks. Love the brids around it. Old man provides wheat to feed birds.

today the last one is found on Baščaršija Square, where it serves as a major symbol of the city. The origins of these fountains can be traced back to the Arabian Peninsula and the custom of building sebiljs was brought to Bosnia and Herzegovina by the Ottomans. Sebiljdžija, workers who received wages from the state or a vakuf (endowment), manned the kiosks and dispensed free water to hungry passersby. This sebilj in Baščaršija dates back to the Austro-Hungarian period. The original one, built by Mehmed Pasha Kukavica, was several meters away from where Sebilj now stands, but was knocked down after being damaged during a fire. Very nice view and good symbol of the city. You can take very cool pictures with it It’s especially very good at night and when there is snow

Beautiful day with family, cozy place, we taste bosnian coffee and feed the pigeons. We reccomend for family and kids will like pigeons.

Sebilj is a beautiful and historic landmark located in the heart of Sarajevo's old town. This ornate, wooden fountain is a popular gathering place for locals and tourists alike, and it is a must-see destination for anyone visiting the city.

Sebilj is the public fontaine/square in the old town in Sarajevo. Very nice place to visit. It is surrounded by small buildings from the Ottoman period. All recommendations.

Nice architectural structure with wide enough space. Interestingly free wifi exists.

The old market is great to stroll around.

Must visit Heart of the Old Town

Baščaršija is the go to place in Sarajevo, it never gets dull. So much life there! Sebilj is fun for all, beautiful picture opps and the popular pigeon population there. You will know what I mean once you get there. Highly recommended place to be is Old Town (Baščaršija)

The fragrance of history and its beautiful smell that takes you to the details of the beautiful time
