1919–1941Banovina Palace
A Horse Cart Passes a Curved Modern Banovina Building, Novi Sad
A photographic postcard shows a long, curved modern building wrapping around a corner, with a tall tower of narrow vertical windows rising at one end. A horse-drawn cart travels along the road in front, an old-fashioned contrast to the building's stark modern lines.
About this place
The Banovina complex was built between 1936 and 1939 to a modernist design by architect Dragiša Brašovan, as the administrative seat of the Danube Banovina of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The main palace, clad in white marble from the island of Brač, runs 180 metres long with a 42-metre tower; the adjoining Banski dvor holds the ceremonial halls. Today the complex houses the Government and the Assembly of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina and is protected as a cultural monument.
