An elevated view along Kossuth Lajos utca from an upper floor of the Old Post Office, looking toward the old town. A single-deck electric tram comes down the middle of the street under its trolley wire with a second one further up, and three church towers stand against the sky beyond the rooftops: a baroque dome and lantern, a slender spire and a Gothic spire. Awnings run down the left side above the shopfronts, and the balustrade of the building the camera stands in fills the near corner.
About this place
The street running off Liberty Square, named for King Alexander I of Yugoslavia and carrying the name still. The archive's cards look along it toward the spire of the Name of Mary Church, with the tram in the roadway and shop awnings down the left side. Under the occupation of 1941 to 1944 the street carried Adolf Hitler’s name, and the archive’s wartime photograph of it is filed here under that period. Under socialist Yugoslavia the street carried the name Ulica narodnih heroja, which a separate street about 120 m south-west carries today, so a caption using that name has to be dated before it is placed. The pin is the OpenStreetMap line of the street itself.
