🇬🇧 Arguably the most famous building in Sarajevo is Sebilj in Baščaršija. With its beauty, pride and existence, it still defies time and conveys the beauty of the Bosnian capital as a true beauty.
Originally there was an official in the sebilja who filled tasas (vessels) with water and distributed them to thirsty passers-by.
Sebilj during the day / Sebilj danju
The word sebilj is of Arabic origin and means "a building on the road in which there is water". There used to be several sebiljas in Sarajevo, but in a catastrophic fire in 1697, all Sarajevo sebiljas were destroyed. The only remaining sebilj in Baščaršija, in its present form, was built way back in 1913, and with reason is considered a significant architectural monument of its era.
Evlija Celebija mentions that in 1660 there were 300 sebilja in Sarajevo, and only this one in Baščaršija has been preserved to this day.
Sebilj in Baščaršija was built of stone, wood and copper. An octagonal pedestal covered with finely crafted stone rests on the concrete foundation, above which is a richly and beautifully executed wooden structure with mušepci (wooden lattices) and airy openings, which gives a peculiar stamp of slenderness to the entire building.
As a result of the shelling of the city in 1992, the sebilj was damaged by shrapnel, so a minor repair followed in 1997, when the mushepci were repaired and the wooden structure was painted.
Sebilj was thoroughly restored in 2006, when the copper cover was replaced, the water supply and drainage were repaired, and the wood was protected.
🇧🇦 Ubjedljivo najpoznatija građevina Sarajeva jeste sebilj na Baščaršiji. Svojom ljepotom, gordošću i postojanjem, još prkosi vremenu i kao pravi ljepotan pronosi ljepotu bosanske prijestolnice.
U sebilju je prvobitno bio službenik koji je punio tasove (posude) vodom i dijelio ih žednim prolaznicima.
Sebeilj in the evening / Sebilj uveče
Riječ sebilj je arapskog porijekla i označava “zgradu na putu u kojoj ima vode”. U Sarajevu je nekad bilo više sebilja, ali u katastrofalnom požaru 1697. godine uništeni su svi sarajevski sebilji. Jedini preostali sebilj na Baščaršiji, u današnjem obliku je izgrađen davne 1913. godine, i s razlogom važi za značajan spomenik arhitekture svog doba.
Evlija Čelebija spominje da je 1660. godine u Sarajevu bilo 300 sebilja i do danas je sačuvan samo ovaj na Baščaršiji.
Sebilj na Baščaršiji je izgrađen od kamena hreše, drveta i bakra. Na betonske temelje je oslonjen osmougaoni postament obložen fino urađenim kamenom iznad kojeg je bogato i lijepo izvedena drvena konstrukcija sa mušepcima (drvenim rešetkama) i prozračnim otvorima, što daje svojevrstan pečat vitkosti cijelom objektu.
Uslijed granatiranja grada 1992. godine, sebilj je oštećen gelerima pa je manja popravka uslijedila 1997. godine, kada su popravljeni mušepci i obojena drvena konstrukcija.
Sebilj je detaljno restauriran 2006. godine, kada je zamijenjen bakarni pokrov, saniran dovod i odvod vode, urađena zaštita drveta.
