Fountain Kraljeva Cesma - the most important information
This source of fresh water, which is located near the lake Zlatibor, is today a memorial fountain that bears the memory of King Aleksandar I Obrenovic.
The history of the fountain
Before the fountain you can see today was built, there was a source of cold water here called Kalusevac. Historical data says that on August 20, 1893, King Aleksandar Obrenovic visited this place, when a solemn reception was organized. To thank the locals for the warm welcome, the king intended to build a fountain at the spring, which has since been called Kraljeva Cesma (meaning: King's Fountain).
