1918–1929Bishop's Palace
Vladičin Dvor, the Bishop's Court, Down a Shopping Street
A shopping street leads to Vladicin dvor, the Bishop's Court, its Baroque revival tower rising beside a monument in the small square. Shopfronts including one signed Jovan Čakić line the street at left. The card is postmarked with a Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes stamp, the country's official name only between 1918 and 1929.
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.
