The Administrative Palace curves away along its avenue, its tall tower rising above the roofline, as a horse-drawn carriage and a few pedestrians cross the wide street in front. The caption reads only Újvidék, Közigazgatási palota.
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.
