The Banovina Palace (Serbo-Croatian: Бановинска палата, Banovinska palata, Hungarian: Báni palota, Romanian: Palatul Băniei, Slovak: Bánovinský palác, Rusyn: Бановинска палата), colloquially known as Banovina, in Novi Sad, capital of the autonomous province of Vojvodina in Serbia, is a representative complex serving as a seat of both the Government and the Assembly of Vojvodina.[2] The building, designed by Dragiša Brašovan, was constructed between 1935 and 1940 in modernist style for the administrative needs of the Danube Banovina.[3]

Location and Characteristics

The Palace is located in the city centre of Novi Sad, at the corner of Mihajlo Pupin Boulevard and Žarko Zrenjanin Street. It was originally built as the administrative centre of the Danube Banovina.[2] The building has a closed elongated horseshoe-shaped base. The semi-circular part of the building is located on the western side, while on the opposite eastern side, there is a tower with a square base. The building consists of a basement, ground floor, and two floors. It is 180 meters long, 44 meters wide, and around 20 meters high, except for the tower, which is 42 meters high.[4] It is covered with white Brač island marble. Above the representative entrance facing Mihajlo Pupin Boulevard, there are medallions with resemblance to Peter I of Serbia, Alexander I of Yugoslavia, Stepa Stepanović, Živojin Mišić, Radomir Putnik and Petar Bojović.
