1919–1941Banovina Palace
The Administrative Palace, Newly Planted Trees Along the Drive
The curved, ribbon-windowed wing of the Administrative Palace sweeps away from a tall, narrow tower at its corner, fronted by a young garden and a columned entrance portico. A cyclist and a few pedestrians cross the open plaza in front. The caption reads only Újvidék, Közigazgatási palota.
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.
