The Serbian Bishop's Palace, a Striped Awning Over the Market
A striped awning shades a market stall as a vendor pushes his handcart past a busy square, a tall memorial cross at its centre and carriages waiting before the Bishop's Palace gate with its turreted corner tower. The printed heading omits templom, church, naming only the Szerb püspöki palota, the palace itself.
About this place
The residence of the Serbian Orthodox Bishop of Bačka, standing at the head of Zmaj Jovina street. The first episcopal palace here was built in 1741 under Bishop Visarion Pavlović next to the Cathedral Church and was destroyed in the bombardment of June 1849. The present palace was completed in 1901 to a design by architect Vladimir Nikolić, its facade blending Byzantine and Serbian medieval monastery motifs with the schooling of Vienna; Patriarch Georgije Branković attended its inauguration. Since 1984 a monument to the poet Jovan Jovanović Zmaj has stood in front of it.
