The viewer looks across an unpaved lot toward the rear of a large modernist government building, its facade lined with fluted pilasters and topped by a rounded corner tower. A long wing of the same complex extends to the left. Several vehicles are parked near the entrance, one of them resembling a military armored car, with a handful of people standing by. The donor identifies the building as the Banovina Palace, seen from Zarka Zrenjanina street.
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.
