| 27 TERAZIJSKA ČESMA Verovatno svaki turista u Beogradu napravi fotografiju čuvene Terazijske česme, smeštene na platou kod hotela Moskva, a zanimljivo je da je Ulica Terazije zapravo po njoj dobila ime. Izgrađena je 1860. godine po projektu vajara Franca Lorana kao simbol povratka na presto kneza Miloša Obrenovića, čiji su inicijali urezani na sve četiri strane obeliska. Terazijska česma izgrađena je od krečnjačkog kamena s Tašmajdana, a sastoji se od četvorostranog stuba sa metalnom vazom na vrhu, ukupne visine oko 8 m, postavljenog u osmougaoni bazen prečnika 10 m. Na svakoj strani u središtu kružnog medaljona je lavlja glava, takođe obrađena u kamenu, s lulom za izbijanje mlaznice. RITAMBEOGRADA / RHYTHMOFBELGRADE UVRELIM DANIMA NAĐITE ČESMU Prve javne česme na prostoru Beograda građene su još u vreme Rimljana iz vrlo praktičnih razloga, ali su umeđuvremenu postajale prava vajarska dela i jedinstveni svedoci istorije. Neke od njih i danas krase našu prestonicu služeći svojoj primarnoj svrsi, ali njihovim vodama teku i priče o uzbudljivoj prošlosti Srbije The rst public drinking fountains in Belgrade were constructed during the time of the Romans, for very practical reasons, but in the meantime they became genuine sculptural works and unique witnesses to the passage of history. Some of them still adorn our city and serve their primary purpose, but their waters also ow with stories of Serbia’s exciting past...

And, interestingly, Terazije Street is actually named after the fountain, and not vice versa. Built in 1860 according to the design of Italian sculptor Franz Laurant, it was intended to symbolise the return to the throne of Prince Miloš Obrenović, whose initials are carved on all four sides of the Obelisk. Terazije Fountain is made of limestone quarried fromTašmajdan and consists of a four-sided pillar topped by a metal vase, with a total height of around eight metres, placed in the centre of an octagonal pool with a diameter of 10 metres. At the centre of the circular medallion on each side is a lion’s head, also shaped in stone, with pipes as nozzle outlets. ONHOT DAYS, FINDA DRINKING FOUNTAIN
