A postcard of Ujvidek reusing the same wide panorama of the curved Banovina Palace as a companion card, here with a period owner's pencil note above reading Báni palota, Hungarian for the Ban's Palace. Below, one view shows a building with children and a parked car outside, and another shows a plain modern building with regular rows of windows. The printed caption reads only Ujvidek. The Banovina Palace was completed in 1939, so the card dates from that year or later.
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.
