Duna Street, a Woman Crossing Before the Ivković Shopfront
The shopfront on the right is signed twice for Nikola Ivković, in Cyrillic and in Latin, its windows filled with ornate metalwork and religious goods, and a balcony above it carries a figure looking down into the street. A tram stands further along the cobbles, and a woman with a basket crosses the empty roadway while two men in hats watch from the kerb. The heading names the town and the street in all three languages, Ujvidek, Novi Sad and Neusatz over Duna-utcza, Dunavska ulica and Donaugasse.
About this place
Dunavska street runs from Zmaj Jovina down to the Belgrade Quay on the Danube, and took shape in the first years of the 18th century as the road between the town centre and the river landing. Early city maps call it Auf den Brücken, the street on the bridges, because timber bridges carried it over the marshy ground on either side, and it was also known as Petrovaradinska after the crossing to Petrovaradin. From the late 18th century the name settled into Dunavska, with Duna utca in Hungarian and Donau-Gasse in German saying the same thing. The houses at numbers 1, 6, 7, 18 and 20 are protected monuments, and the street today carries the Museum of Vojvodina, the Historical Museum, the Officers' House and the entrance to the Danube Park.
