1941–1945Banovina Palace
Novi Sad: the Cathedral and Banovina Palace, for a Tobacco Outlet
Five photographs of Ujvidek mounted at angles like loose snapshots. They show a curved corner building beneath a church spire, the Cathedral of the Name of Mary seen from above looking down its street with tram tracks, a close view of the Banovina Palace's colonnade, a high view of City Hall and its column with trams passing, and a riverside view toward the Petrovaradin Fortress. The card was issued for the Hungarian royal tobacco wholesale outlet in the city, a state concession, and the finished Banovina Palace rules out the pre-1918 period, together pointing to the city's wartime Hungarian administration.
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.
