The title is bilingual, Hungarian Erzsebet-ter beside the German Elisabeth Platz, naming this square for the assassinated empress and marking it as a different place from the city's Franz Joseph Square recorded elsewhere. Two trams stand at the stop in the middle of the roadway, one behind the other, with an ornate villa screened by trees at the corner and a run of shopfronts continuing down the right side of the street. Pedestrians in long coats cross the paved street around the tracks.
About this place
A square distinct from the main square. Habsburg-era cards use the name Erzsebet for both a square and a hotel, which makes the two easy to confuse. The main post office stood on it, and cards caption the pair together as Erzsebet-ter a fopostaval, Elizabeth Square with the main post office. The higher commercial school stood on it too. Erzsebet ter became Wilson Square and is today Trg mladenaca. The Serbian name Trg Marije Trandafil belongs to a different square 678 m north-east.
