1942Banovina Palace
The Banovina Palace on Horthy Miklós Boulevard, Novi Sad, 1942
A tall fluted tower rises above the modernist Banovina building, its ribbed stone piers framing rows of windows along the wide boulevard in front. Cars of the period are parked at the curb and pedestrians walk along the tree lined pavement. The source names the street as Horthy Miklos sugarut, known before and after the war as Bulevar Mihajla Pupina, and dates the photograph to 1942.
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.
