Shadërvan Square
Sheshi Shadërvan
A cobblestone triangular square in the old town center, with an Ottoman drinking fountain in the middle and cafés, dessert shops, and grill houses lining its edges.
Sheshi Shadërvan is Prizren's 'living room,' named after the Ottoman-style drinking fountain at its center. Legend says that anyone who drinks from the fountain will always return to Prizren. Around the square, traditional two-story wooden houses have been converted into cafés, Turkish dessert shops, and silversmith workshops. On summer nights the seats fill with locals and visitors drinking coffee and eating baklava. From here you can walk to the Stone Bridge and the mosques, to Saborni hram Svetog Đorđa, and climb through the alleys up to the fortress. Free admission, open all day.
