Drinking fountain of Mehmed Pasha Sokolović, Ottoman drinking fountain at Belgrade Fortress, Serbia.

This rectangular limestone fountain stands next to the Defterdar's Gate near the northwestern wall of the Upper Town of Belgrade Fortress.

The fountain, constructed in 1576, represents Grand Vizier Mehmed Pasa Sokolovic's only remaining contribution to Belgrade's architectural heritage.

The fountain serves as a meeting point for residents and visitors, representing centuries of Ottoman influence in Belgrade's urban development.

Recent renovations in 2017 added steel walls and benches around the fountain, making it accessible to visitors exploring the Belgrade Fortress.

Archaeological excavations near the fountain revealed remnants of a Roman castrum and Bronze Age urns beneath the Ottoman structure.
