A view across the square to the Town Hall and its tower, with the brick flank of the Name of Mary church filling the right edge. Shop signs project from the building at the left: KROJAC S. PUSKAS, the Cyrillic word for a furrier, and a sign for a Pakrac engineering office. A woman in a pink dress crosses the foreground, young people in flared trousers walk the pavement, cars stand at the kerb and a bus shelter sits at the right.
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.
