For the visitors of the old Baščaršija square of Sarajevo, one of the most recognizable landmarks is the Sebilj. This wooden public fountain, built in 1891 in a pseudo-Moorish style, is a common gathering place for people and pigeons alike. Legend has it that once you drink the waters of the Sebilj fountain, you can never leave Sarajevo for too long.
