1941–1945Banovina Palace
The Former Banovina Palace, a Roundabout of Young Trees, Novi Sad
A photographic postcard shows the long, monumental facade of the former Danube Banovina administration building, its tall corner tower rising above a colonnaded entrance and rows of plain windows along the wing. Pedestrians and a horse cart move along the boulevard in front, and a roundabout with young trees sits at the corner in the foreground.
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.
