An elevated view down a busy street of two storey shopfronts toward the main square. The Town Hall tower rises at the centre with scaffolding standing against it, the spire of the Name of Mary church beyond to the right, and the Holy Trinity column among market awnings, carts and a dense crowd at the right edge. Shop fascias along the left read PESTI MAGYAR KERESKEDELMI BANK and, in Cyrillic, a draper's name.
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.
