1941–1945Liberty Square
Four views: National Flag Square, the post office, Health Palace
A four-panel card shows Országzászló tér twice, its votive column and city hall crowded with pedestrians and a tram passing a large new building, then the columned Royal Hungarian post office building, and finally the curved colonnade of the health administration palace behind a row of young trees. The captions read Országzászló-tér, M. kir. posta, and Egészségügyi palota, Újvidék.
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.
