1910.Bishop's Palace
The Serbian Bishop's Palace, a Vendor by the Memorial Cross
A market fills the square before the Bishop's Palace, its turreted corner tower rising above awninged stalls where a vendor pushes a handcart. A tall memorial cross stands at the centre of the square and carriages wait at the palace gate. A corner shop's sign, cropped at the card's edge, ends [P]opović and repeats in Cyrillic beneath.
About this place
The residence of the Serbian Orthodox Bishop of Bačka, standing at the head of Zmaj Jovina street. The first episcopal palace here was built in 1741 under Bishop Visarion Pavlović next to the Cathedral Church and was destroyed in the bombardment of June 1849. The present palace was completed in 1901 to a design by architect Vladimir Nikolić, its facade blending Byzantine and Serbian medieval monastery motifs with the schooling of Vienna; Patriarch Georgije Branković attended its inauguration. Since 1984 a monument to the poet Jovan Jovanović Zmaj has stood in front of it.
