An elevated view down a busy street, with trams standing on the rails and awnings running the length of the shopfronts on both sides. A clock tower rises over the roofs at the centre and a tall neo-Gothic spire stands beyond it, with telegraph poles and overhead wires crossing the view. The card is captioned in Cyrillic and again in Latin.
About this place
The street running off Liberty Square, named for King Alexander I of Yugoslavia and carrying the name still. The archive's cards look along it toward the spire of the Name of Mary Church, with the tram in the roadway and shop awnings down the left side. Under the occupation of 1941 to 1944 the street carried Adolf Hitler’s name, and the archive’s wartime photograph of it is filed here under that period. Under socialist Yugoslavia the street carried the name Ulica narodnih heroja, which a separate street about 120 m south-west carries today, so a caption using that name has to be dated before it is placed. The pin is the OpenStreetMap line of the street itself.
