SHADËRVAN SQUARE

This square (Sheshi i Shadërvanit, Trg Šadrvan) and the small neighborhood surrounding it owe their name to a very simple 17th-century ritual fountain(şadırvan in Turkish) that was once used for the ablutions of the worshippers of the nearby Sinan-Pasha Mosque. A former nerve centre of commerce in the city, it is now a pleasant place with cafes-restaurants, colourful facades and cobbled alleys that lead off on one side to the mosque, on the other to St George's Cathedral, or to the path leading to Prizren Fortress.
