The public fountain Prijepoljčeva, located at the corner of Prijepoljčeva and Očaktanum streets, has an unknown construction date. This fountain is built into the courtyard wall of the ‘Potok Mosque.’ It is entirely made of natural stone. Most of the stone wall parts have a rough surface, while the carving in the shape of an arch around the fountain’s spout has a smooth finish. The horizontal spout provides a constant flow of water and was functional during the site visit. The visual appearance of the single-piece stone basin suggests it could be old, as the surface of the stone is worn, and the drainage system with a hole in the lower part of the front of the basin, along with a drainage window just below it, aligns with systems implemented in other preserved old troughs on this list. This could indicate that this trough is also a preserved trough of a much older fountain that may have existed in this area. During the site visit, the surface of the stone wall around the spout had a slight color change, while the trough showed a more significant color change caused by moisture.

Location: St. Prijepoljčeva PP 16
