A woman in a tailored suit, beret and spectacles stands in the square with a small girl in a dark coat and buckled shoes beside her. Behind them a poster covered advertising column, an ornate gabled building with a corner turret, and at the left the flank of the Name of Mary church. Other figures in winter coats walk past and the trees are bare.
About this place
The residence of the Serbian Orthodox Bishop of Bačka, standing at the head of Zmaj Jovina street. The first episcopal palace here was built in 1741 under Bishop Visarion Pavlović next to the Cathedral Church and was destroyed in the bombardment of June 1849. The present palace was completed in 1901 to a design by architect Vladimir Nikolić, its facade blending Byzantine and Serbian medieval monastery motifs with the schooling of Vienna; Patriarch Georgije Branković attended its inauguration. Since 1984 a monument to the poet Jovan Jovanović Zmaj has stood in front of it.
