The town is named three times over and the building three times, in Hungarian, Serbian Cyrillic and German, which is the full trilingual form and places the card before 1918. The Hungarian is misset, palato for palota, and the Serbian is printed in the older orthography with a hard sign closing the second word. The bishop in the oval inset wears the black klobuk with its veil and an embroidered vestment with a pectoral cross and panagia, but the card does not name him. The baroque bell tower of the Cathedral Church with its clock stands beside the palace, and fiacres and a covered wagon are drawn up on the unmetalled roadway.
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.
