Four continuous fluted channels run the full height of the tower to a slotted belvedere near the top. The long wing beside it is faced in stone and lit by uninterrupted bands of window with continuous cills, and the entrance is a low porch of square piers set into its length. Behind the block the curved drum of the assembly hall shows above the roofline.
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.
