A large dark saloon with heavy chrome and the wrapped styling of the middle 1950s comes along the road, low to the camera. A long modernist building with ribbon windows stands behind it among trees, with a taller tower block beyond and a colonnaded wing at the right. A woman cycles along the far pavement. The photograph is in colour.
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.
