by August 1941Banovina Palace
Rooftops with the Administrative Palace and the fortress beyond
A rooftop view takes in the Administrative Palace's ribbed tower in the middle distance and Petrovaradin Fortress's ramparts on the hill across the river beyond it, which places the palace within sight of the fortress. Modern apartment blocks with flat roofs and sun terraces fill the foreground. The heading reads Ujvidék látképe, view of Novi Sad.
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.
