1941–1945Banovina Palace
Five Views: the Banovina Tower, the Cathedral and Fortress
A souvenir card captioned Greetings from Ujvidek with five views. A slender modern tower with ribbed vertical detailing, part of the Banovina Palace complex, appears at top left and again at bottom left from a different angle. The Petrovaradin Fortress stretches along the Danube at top right, and the center strip shows the Cathedral of the Name of Mary from above looking down its street. A row of modern apartment blocks lines the bottom right street view. The tower places the card at 1939 or later, and the caption is printed in Hungarian only.
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.
