1941–1945Banovina Palace
Novi Sad: Banovina Palace, City Hall and Petrovaradin Fortress
Three views of Ujvidek. A wide panorama of the curved modern Banovina Palace fills the top of the card. Below, City Hall stands beside the Holy Trinity column with a crowd crossing the square, and a separate view looks across the Danube to the Petrovaradin Fortress on its hill. The printed caption reads only Ujvidek. The Banovina Palace was completed in 1939, so the card cannot be older than that.
About this place
The Banovina complex was built between 1936 and 1939 to a modernist design by architect Dragiša Brašovan, as the administrative seat of the Danube Banovina of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The main palace, clad in white marble from the island of Brač, runs 180 metres long with a 42-metre tower; the adjoining Banski dvor holds the ceremonial halls. Today the complex houses the Government and the Assembly of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina and is protected as a cultural monument.
