Čukur Fountain, Protected monument fountain in Stari Grad, Serbia.

The fountain features a bronze sculpture titled 'Boy with the Broken Jug' created by Serbian sculptor Simeon Roksandić in 1931.

A confrontation at the fountain in 1862 between a Serbian boy and Turkish soldiers led to the shelling of Belgrade by Ottoman forces.

The fountain represents a turning point in Serbian history, marking the gradual withdrawal of Ottoman influence from Belgrade during the 19th century.

Located at 30 Dobračina Street, the fountain underwent complete restoration in 2010 after the bronze statue was broken into 22 pieces.

The marble bench beside the fountain allows visitors to observe water flowing from the pitcher held by the bronze figure.

Location: Stari Grad

Architects: Simeon Roksandić
