1919–1941Banovina Palace
Modern Novi Sad: a Curved Building, a Column and a Boulevard Corner
Three photographs on one postcard show a low, curved building with a slender tower and ribbon windows fronting an open plaza, a street corner dominated by an ornate column on a tall pedestal in front of a rounded apartment block, and a second modern corner building meeting a wide avenue. Every scene on this card belongs to the city's newer, twentieth-century architecture, with no older buildings included.
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.
