1941–1945Banovina Palace
The Former Banovina Palace, Novi Sad (Zima Karoly Edition)
The former Danube Banovina administration palace stretches along its curved facade and tall tower in this Hungarian captioned view. The caption again calls the building the FORMER Ban's palace and the city Ujvidek, language that returned during the Hungarian occupation after the Kingdom of Yugoslavia's banovina administration ended in 1941. The publisher's imprint names Zima Karoly and company, the house that also issued the destroyed bridge cards.
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.
