1941Banovina Palace
Soldiers Assembled Before the Banovina Palace, Novi Sad, 1941
The Banovina Palace's long facade recedes into the distance behind a row of young trees, seen partly through the bars of a fence in the foreground. Soldiers stand in ranks along the sidewalk to the right while a lone officer faces the entrance, its portico hung with bunting. The donor's caption again places this on Horthy Miklos Boulevard, today Bulevar Mihajla Pupina.
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.
