1911.Bishop's Palace
The Serbian Bishop's Palace, a Crowd Beneath a Written Message
The palace and, in the middle distance, a domed church roof close the far end of a market street where clothing hangs for sale on long racks. The printed heading names the city twice, Újvidék and Нови Сад side by side, though a handwritten message in cursive covers most of the sky above. Dated 1911.
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.
