The Čukur Fountain is a fountain and monument built to commemorate the Čukur Fountain incident when s dispute between a group of Ottoman soldiers and Serbs police ended with several dead including Serbian apprentice boy, who is the model of the sculpture on the fountain. The fountain is a rectangular column. On top of the column is the dead figure of a boy. A jug lies next to his hand. There's currently construction work, so the fountain is blocked and water isn't sprouting from the jug into the basin below.

On first approach it looks like a fairly normal (interesting) fountain, with a forlorn figure depicted laying down, with water pouring out of a urn. Usually our knowledge would stop there, (as the explanation is in Serbian), however, being on a free walking tour, our guide told us the very sad story, of the figure (boy) depicted on the pedestal.
