Na Terazijama, ispred hotela Moskva, nalazi se Terazijska česma ispred koje se sastaju mnogi Beograđani. Za vreme svakog Svetskog prvenstva u fudbalu, ispred ove česme menjaju se popularne “sličice”, ispred česme su se mnogi prvi put sastali sa devojkom i mladićem, mnogi su se rastali, ali i upoznali.
Pa, kako je ova česma dospela tu i zbog čega je ona značajna? Molba za izgradnju česma bila je upućena još 1838. zbog nedostatka vode u Beogradu, ali kako je knez Miloš ubrzo proteran to je na kratko odližilo njenu izgradnju. Terazijska česma podignuta je još 1860. godine, a svojim sredstvima izgradio je knez Miloš Obrenović, kako bi proslavio povratak na srpski presto.
Upravo ispred Terazijske česme 1892. godine svečano je otvoren prvi beogradski vodovod. Ono što mnogi ljudi ne znaju jeste da je tokom rekonstrukcije Terazija ova česma izmeštena na Topčider, i da je tamo ostala sve do 1975. godine, nepriključena na vodovodnu mrežu. Tek krajem te godine vraćena je na svoje prvobitno mesto na kojem je i danas.
Danas je Terazijska česma glavni predstavnik kulture romantizma u Srbiji. Većina onih koji se danas ispred nje nalaze ni ne slute da u nekom trenutku nije bila na tom mestu. Zbog njene važnosti i značaja, Terazijska česma je najbolje mesto da ugovorite susret i sastanak u Beogradu.
TERAZIJE FOUNTAIN – THE MEETING PLACE IN BELGRADE
At Terazije square, in front of the Moscow hotel, there is Terazije fountain in front of many Belgraders meet. During each World Cup in football, the popular Panini stickers are changing in front of this fountain. Many people chose this place for the first date, many people split up here and for the many people, this is the place where they first met someone.
So how has this fountain got here and why is it so significant? The request for the construction of the fountain was sent back in 1838 due to the lack of water in Belgrade, but as Prince Milos was soon expeatriated from the state and that event briefly postponed its construction. Terazije fountain was built in 1860, and it was built by Prince Milos Obrenovic own funds, in order to celebrate his return to the Serbian throne.
The first Belgrade water supply was ceremoniously opened right in front of Terazijske fountain in 1892. What many people do not know is that during the reconstruction of Terazije square, this fountain was relocated to Topcider, and it remained there until 1975. Durign that time Terazije fountain was not connected to the water supply network. At the end of that year fountain was returned to her original place where it is today.
Today Terazije fountain is the main representative of the culture of romanticism in Serbia. Most of those who are in front of this fountain today do not even know that at some point it was not in that place. Because of its importance, the Terazije Fountain is the best place to arrange a meeting and an encounter in Belgrade.
