An elevated view down onto a busy street corner with two city buses at a stop and a crowd waiting at the shelter. A neon roof sign reads Podravka soups in Cyrillic, and beneath it shopfronts signed Uzor and Borovo with a banner for a furniture exhibition. Across the street a long modernist block carries the department store name Progres and a cinema sign. People in winter coats cross the road.
About this place
The main square of Novi Sad, laid out as the town took shape in the 18th century. Under Austria-Hungary it bore the name of Emperor Franz Joseph; it became Liberation Square after 1918 and Liberty Square after the Second World War. The neo-Renaissance Town Hall (1893-1895) and the neo-Gothic Name of Mary Church (1893-1894, with a 72-metre tower) face each other across it, both designed by architect György Molnár. The Tanurdžić Palace on the square followed in 1933. The seven-metre bronze monument to Svetozar Miletić by Ivan Meštrović was erected in 1939, hidden during the wartime occupation, and returned to the square in late 1944.
