The Sebilj is an Ottoman-style wooden fountain (sebil) in the centre of Baščaršija Square in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Built in 1753 by Mehmed Pasha Kukavica, it was destroyed by fire in 1852 and reconstructed in 1891 by the Austrian architect Alexander Wittek on a site several metres from the original. It is a National Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
