A narrow street of low single storey houses with moulded window surrounds and deep eaves, a baroque church tower with an onion dome rising behind the roofs and trees closing the far end. Cars of the 1970s stand at the kerb.
About this place
Lončarska, whose name means Potters' Street, is a short street of about 110 metres on the eastern edge of Almaški kraj, the old Serbian quarter of Novi Sad between the Almaška church and the Orthodox cathedral of Saint George. The quarter was settled in 1718 by families from the village of Almaš and kept an irregular plan of narrow, winding streets that grew up on dry ridges between watercourses, ponds and side channels, lined with low houses of modest materials and decoration. In 1991 the city's heritage institute placed 279 of its buildings under preliminary protection, and on 27 June 2019 the quarter was declared a protected spatial cultural-historical unit. This archive's photograph from the 1970s looks along the street's single-storey houses toward the tower of the cathedral, which stands just to the south.
