Franz Joseph Square, the Town Hall and the Trinity Column, 1912
The Trinity column on its balustraded base with the town hall beyond, and tram rails curving across the paving under the wires. A closed saloon car with a rounded roof and separate mudguards is parked at the kerb, a body style of the later 1920s or the 1930s.
About this place
The main square of Novi Sad, laid out as the town took shape in the 18th century. Under Austria-Hungary it bore the name of Emperor Franz Joseph; it became Liberation Square after 1918 and Liberty Square after the Second World War. The neo-Renaissance Town Hall (1893-1895) and the neo-Gothic Name of Mary Church (1893-1894, with a 72-metre tower) face each other across it, both designed by architect György Molnár. The Tanurdžić Palace on the square followed in 1933. The seven-metre bronze monument to Svetozar Miletić by Ivan Meštrović was erected in 1939, hidden during the wartime occupation, and returned to the square in late 1944.
