1941–1945Banovina Palace
A curved modern building under finishing work, Novi Sad
A photographic postcard shows a long, curved modern building with a tall square tower and a columned entrance pavilion, construction scaffolding still standing at one end. A horse-drawn carriage passes on the road, and a few pedestrians walk along the unfinished grounds.
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.
