The most important buildings which still add to the beauty of the Novi Sad city centre, were built in various styles – from baroque, classicism, romanticism, to eclecticism which, together with Art Nouveau, was going to last until the First World War.<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In Novi Sad, eclecticism started to emerge when they started to build two-floor palaces: the first one is located in what is nowadays known as Kralja Aleksandra Street (built by Se\u010denj, the count), while the second one, today known as Mati\u010darsko Zdanje<\/em> (En. Registry Building), is located in the Trg Mladenaca square (built by Par\u010deti\u0107, the count).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the last decade of the 20th century, the looks of the city completely changed when the new constructions were built, namely the new City Hall, the \u2018Name of Mary\u2019 Roman Catholic parish, designed by Gy\u00f6rgy Moln\u00e1r<\/strong>, as well as the \u2018Majer\u2019 hotel (today\u2019s branch of Vojvo\u0111anska Bank). These three buildings continue to adorn the Liberty Square even today. Nearby are the Bishop\u2019s Palace and Zmaj Jovina Grammar School by the architect Vladimir Nikoli\u0107<\/strong>. Franz Voruda<\/strong>, an architect from Vienna, designed the building of the Central Credit Bureau, which continues to embellish the corner of Mileti\u0107eva and Gr\u010dko\u0161kolska Streets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Courthouse building, today\u2019s Museum of Vojvodina, by the architect \u0110uka Vagner<\/strong>, and the Teacher Dormitory in Nikolajevska Street, today\u2019s high school dormitory, by the local architect Anton Tikmajer<\/strong>, also marked the architecture of Novi Sad. And not just these, but the former \u2018Central\u2019 hotel, today\u2019s building of the former postal service in the \u2018Trg Mladenaca\u2019 square, and a palace in 21 Jevrejska Street, which the citizens of Novi Sad nowadays call Katastar<\/em>, marked the city\u2019s architecture as well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

At the beginning of the 20th century, Art Nouveau could be seen in the palaces \u2018Menratova\u2019 (En. Josef Menrath Palace), \u2018Vinklova\u2019, \u2018Gvozdeni \u010dovek\u2019 (En. Iron Man), all located in the main street at the Liberty Square. Not far away from these, through Jevrejska Street and towards Futog, the Synagogue, Electrical Engineering High School building, hospital for rheumatic diseases \u2018Jodna Banja\u2019, and the City Hospital were built.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The enthusiasm for restoration emerged after the First World War. Thus, the neglected spaces started to develop as well, especially those located towards the Danube bank, where the construction works had been prohibited by the Austro-Hungarian authorities up until then because of the bridgehead, i.e. defence zone. <\/span>The modern architecture is becoming more and more spread. Its best representatives in Novi Sad are the Tunurd\u017ei\u0107eva Palace, Klajnova Palace, Sokolski dom (En. Sports Club), Palata trgova\u010dke omladine (En. Commerce Youth Palace), Jugoslovenski dnevnik (En. Yugoslavian Daily News) – all of which were done by the architect \u0110or\u0111e Tabakovi\u0107<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Dragi\u0161a Bra\u0161ovan<\/strong>, an architect from Belgrade, is the author of the Banovinska Palace and Labour Hall. The Russian architects Juraj Nikolajevi\u010d \u0160reter<\/strong> and Konstantin Petrovi\u010d de la Valet<\/strong> designed the National Health Centre in the Mihajlo Pupin Boulevard, and the Officers\u2019 Club at the Danube bank. All of these are standouts because they are reminiscent of the Russian classicism.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
