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

In 2018, another replica of the Sebilj was completed in the town of Rožaje, Montenegro.
