- The Terazije fountain is the work of sculptor Franc Loran. It was built in 1860 to mark the return of Prince Miloš Obrenović to the throne. It is one of the most important legacies of his reign.
- The fountain was built on the site of an old Turkish fountain-water tower and above a larger water tank, which was located between today’s hotels “Moscow” and “Balkan”. This large cylindrical cistern had a system for even distribution of water between different drinking fountains in Belgrade.
- In 1911, after a reconstruction of Terazije, the fountain was taken to the Topčider Park and then returned to Terazije in 1975.
