A tram bound for the railway station, its destination board reading 'Palyaudvar', passes the ornate main post office building on Elizabeth Square, its balconies and arched windows facing the street. Captioned 'Ujvidek, Erzsebet-ter a fopostaval' (Novi Sad, Elizabeth Square with the main post office).
About this place
A square distinct from the main square. Habsburg-era cards use the name Erzsebet for both a square and a hotel, which makes the two easy to confuse. The main post office stood on it, and cards caption the pair together as Erzsebet-ter a fopostaval, Elizabeth Square with the main post office. The higher commercial school stood on it too. Erzsebet ter became Wilson Square and is today Trg mladenaca. The Serbian name Trg Marije Trandafil belongs to a different square 678 m north-east.
