Manduševac, Historic fountain in Ban Josip Jelačić Square, Zagreb, Croatia.
The circular stone fountain features a bronze basin and stands as the central element of Zagreb's main square, surrounded by decorative railings.
The fountain marks the location of an ancient natural spring that provided drinking water to Zagreb residents until its restoration in 1986.
Legends connect the fountain to a girl named Manda, whose interaction with a thirsty knight led to the naming of both the water source and Zagreb.
The fountain serves as a central meeting point for residents and visitors, offering a convenient landmark for navigation through the city center.
The Mandusevac spring water source influenced the development of medieval Zagreb, determining the location of the central marketplace and settlement patterns.
