An elevated view across a half cleared quarter of single storey houses with broken roofs and heaps of rubble, a dirt road running through the middle distance and two figures at a standpipe. Beyond, across open ground, the new railway station stretches along the horizon under its folded sawtooth roof, with a rank of coaches at a bus station to its left.
About this place
The present station, opened on 31 May 1964 to a design by Imre Farkas and Milan Matović, standing north of the centre on the line the railway was moved to as the city grew. Its sawtooth roof recalls the rooflines of Pannonian houses. On 1 November 2024 the concrete canopy above its entrance collapsed, killing 16 people. This is a different building on a different site from the station of 1882, which stood where the Liman market is now. The pin is the OpenStreetMap position of the station building.
