Trams were officially replaced by buses on 30 September 1958, and the ceremony was held on Liberty Square. There had been two lines. Line 1, the White Line, ran from the Futog Gate to Temerin Street, passing the Bishop's Palace and crossing the city centre, then out past the Iodine Spa to the city hospital, where it terminated. Line 2, the Green Line, ran from the former railway station to the far end of Danube Street.
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.
