Colour-tinted, with the Holy Trinity column at centre and the Town Hall's tower visible in the distance at left. The savings bank building at right carries its own name, Ujvideki Takarekpenztar, across its facade, the same building named as Franz Joseph Square's savings bank on other cards, confirming that Fotér and Ferencz Jozsef ter are the same square. A dense crowd, including women in bright dresses and several children, gathers around the column's base.
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.
