ČUKURČESMA Čukur-česma se nalazi u Dobračinoj ulici i karak- teristična je po bronza- noj statui dečaka koji leži na mermernoj ploči. Zva- ničan naziv skulpture je Dečak sa razbijenim krča- gom , a autor je bio srp- ski akademik i skulptor Simeon Roksandić, koji ju je 1931. uradio u sećanje na incident koji se na tom mestu odigrao u junu 1862. godine. Prikazani dečak je 13-godišnji šegrt Sava Petković kog su po- slali da donese vode sa Čukur-česme. Međutim, kod česme su se zadesili i turski vojnici, koji su po- kušali da mu otmu bokal, a kad je Sava pokušao da se odbrani, ubili ga. Srp- ski žandarmi koji su ubr- zo došli uhapsili su ubice, međutim drugi turski voj- nici su pritekli u pomoć i to je preraslo u žestok sukob Srba i Turaka u Be- ogradu.

ČUKURČESMA Čukur Fountain is located in Dobračina Street and is characterised by the bronze statue of a boy lying on a marble slab. The sculpture – ocially titled “The Boy with a Broken Pitcher” – is a work of Serbian academic and sculptor Simeon Roksandić that was created in 1931 as a memorial to an incident that took place on the site in June 1862. The boy repre- sented is 13-year-old Sava Petković. He had been sent to fetch water from Čukur Fountain, but Turkish soldiers also hap- pened to be at the fountain when he arrived and they tried to take his pitcher from him, prompting Sava to defend him- self, which led to him being killed. Serbian ‘gendarme’ police ocers soon arrived and arrested the killers, but other Turkish soldiers came to their aid and the incident developed into a erce battle between Serbs and Turks in Belgrade.

HAJDUK’S FOUNTAIN The Hajduk’s Fountain is located in Košutnjak forest park and is associ- ated, on one side, with the assassi- nation of Prince Mihailo Obrenović, which happened nearby in 1868, and with the legendary 1977 concert of popular Yugoslav band Bijelo Dugme [White Button]. It is presumed to have been erected at the end of the 18 th century and is among the oldest foun- tains with natural spring water, but the origin of its name is unknown, along with many other details... Spe- cically, the rst record of its mentioning is in the last will

and testament of writer Dositej Obradović, who expressed his desire to be buried right next to the Hajduk’s Fountain. The look of the foun- tain today, with stone proling sections, dates back to the end of the 19 th century, while the other surfaces were covered with articial stone

HAJDUČKA ČESMA Hajdučka česma nalazi se u Košutnjaku i asocira, s jedne strane, na ubistvo kneza Mihaila Obrenovića, koje se 1868. godine dogodilo ne- daleko od nje, a s druge na legendarni koncert Bijelog dugmeta 1977. godine. Pretpostavlja se da je podignuta krajem 18. veka i jedna je od najstarijih česama sa izvorskom vodom, ali se ne zna poreklo njenog imena, kao ni mnogi drugi detalji. Naime, prvi zapis u kome se pominje je testament Dositeja Obradovića u kome je izneo želju da bude sahra- njen upravo pored Hajdučke česme. Sadašnji izgled česme datira s kraja 19. veka sa kamenim delovima profilacije, dok su ostale površine pokrivene veštačkim kamenom u 20. veku.

during the 20 th century.
