It is actually a church, more precisely the Church of the Name of Mary, which the population renamed the cathedral and addresses it that way. The first Catholic church in Novi Sad was built in this very spot in the 18th century, although the present-day building is not the same building that stood there at the time. Today&#8217;s building was raised at the end of the 19th century. Catholics in Novi Sad, dissatisfied with the appearance of the renovated church, wished for themselves a church that looks worthy of the Royal Free City. They seem to have succeeded in their wish, because the popular \u2018cathedral\u2019 is today one of the most impressive and beautiful symbols of the city.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mileti\u0107<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\ud83d\udccc <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/category\/novi-sad-kroz-prostor-i-vreme\/centar\/\" target=\"_blank\">Centar<\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHalfway between the Church of the Name of Mary and the City Hall, in the middle of Liberty Square, stands a magnificent monument to <strong>Svetozar Mileti\u0107<\/strong>. For those who don&#8217;t remember history lessons, a short reminder \u2013 Svetozar Mileti\u0107 was the mayor of Novi Sad and one of the most significant Serbian politicians in the Habsburg Monarchy. The monument to Mileti\u0107 is the work by the famous sculptor <strong>Ivan Me\u0161trovi\u0107<\/strong> (who also made the Belgrade Pobednik (En. The Victor)); it was unveiled in 1939. As the Bronze Mileti\u0107 stands on a large square pedestal, you can see gathered teenagers under his footing at any time of the day \u2013 especially when the weather is nice. \u2018At Mileti\u0107\u2019 is a popular meeting point, although, as one citizen of Novi Sad told us: \u2018Lately, there are often some stands around Mileti\u0107, so it is easier to meet next to the cathedral.\u2019\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tr\u010dika<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\r\n<ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\">\r\n \t<li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\r\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"wp-image-3651\" src=\"https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Trcika-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-5-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3651\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Trcika-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-5-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/2020\/11\/12\/od-lutrije-do-lokomotive\/visit-ns-trcika-foto-jelena-ivanovic-5\/\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Trcika-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-5-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Trcika-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Trcika-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Trcika-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-5-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Trcika-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-5-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Trcika-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-5-1320x880.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\ud83d\udccc <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/category\/novi-sad-kroz-prostor-i-vreme\/centar\/\" target=\"_blank\">Centar<\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhile both the cathedral and Mileti\u0107 create a logical hint of some religious building and some monument, for tourists or rare visitors of Novi Sad, \u2018let&#8217;s meet at Tr\u010dika\u2019 may sound like a real puzzle. However, not to worry, your Novi Sad host is not inviting you to a half marathon training party. Tr\u010dika is a caf\u00e9 located in a static tram car in the city centre, in Kralja Aleksandra Street. It was named after the first Novi Sad tram, which rumbled through the city at the beginning of the 20th century. By the middle of that century, trams were replaced by buses, and of all the used vehicles, only this tram remained (it was bought as a museum exhibit in Belgrade). You can&#8217;t miss it when you&#8217;re around, so you can stop by for a cup of coffee or a drink.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bazar<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nJust a few steps from Tr\u010dika is the Sad Novi Bazaar shopping centre, formerly known as Bazar, as the majority of citizens of Novi Sad call it, even after the re-branding. If someone asks you to meet at the Bazar, keep in mind that they are thinking of this old-new shopping centre, and wait for them at the entrance not far from Tr\u010dika and the underground passage.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Banovina or Izvr\u0161no ve\u0107e<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\r\n<ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\">\r\n \t<li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\r\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"wp-image-3653\" src=\"https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Banovina-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3653\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Banovina-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-1-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/2020\/11\/12\/od-lutrije-do-lokomotive\/visit-ns-banovina-foto-jelena-ivanovic-1\/\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Banovina-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Banovina-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Banovina-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Banovina-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Banovina-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Banovina-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-1-1320x880.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\r\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"wp-image-3652\" src=\"https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Banovina-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-10-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3652\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Banovina-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-10-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/2020\/11\/12\/od-lutrije-do-lokomotive\/visit-ns-banovina-foto-jelena-ivanovic-10\/\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Banovina-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-10-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Banovina-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-10-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Banovina-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-10-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Banovina-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-10-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Banovina-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-10-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Banovina-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-10-1320x880.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDepending on which generation they belong to or who taught them the local toponyms, the citizens of Novi Sad will call the important building and landmark either Banovina or Izvr\u0161no Ve\u0107e. It is a characteristic semi-circular building on Mihajlo Pupin Boulevard, which today houses the Provincial Government and the Assembly of Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, and which was built as the headquarters of the ban of the Danube Banovina between 1935 and 1940. Having in mind that it is almost 200 meters long, the building itself is quite unique when it comes to its shape. However, if you are unsure where exactly you should show up, ask for one of the previous locations from the list since they are at a very short distance, and then figure out where Banovina is.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lutrija<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe building of the former Lottery of Vojvodina is located in Bulevar Oslobo\u0111enja Street, or simply \u2013 Bulevar (En. Boulevard). Since it stretches from the Railway Station to the Liberty Bridge, it is a rather long section, which should be mentally and practically \u2018split in parts\u2019 if you want to meet someone or explain where something else is. Thus, one of the important reference points in Bulevar for the citizens of Novi Sad is Lutrija, a low glass building that was once a provincial centre for games of chance. The Vojvodina Lottery has not existed for more than two decades, but the name of the building has remained.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mladenci<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"wp-image-3654\" src=\"https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Trg-mladenaca-spomenik-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-9-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Trg-mladenaca-spomenik-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-9-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Trg-mladenaca-spomenik-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-9-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Trg-mladenaca-spomenik-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-9-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Trg-mladenaca-spomenik-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-9-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Trg-mladenaca-spomenik-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-9-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2020\/11\/Visit-NS-Trg-mladenaca-spomenik-foto-Jelena-Ivanovic-9-1320x880.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf, on the other hand, someone expresses a wish to meet at Mladenci, it is probably not about a believer who uses the church calendar for time orientation. \u2018Mladenci\u2019 is actually Trg Maldenaca (the Newlyweds Square) in the centre of Novi Sad, and you will recognise it from a distance by its characteristic arch-gate. The square got its name after the Registry Office located on the square. The arch you see in the Square is in fact a sculpture of the Gate of Wishes by the academic sculptor <strong>Mladen Marinkov<\/strong>, who also sculpted the Wishing Well at the same place. Lovely idea for beginning a life together! Furthermore, there used to be a market in Trg Mladenaca, and since it was removed and the space became a square, it changed several names in order to finally establish today\u2019s romantic one.\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dalton<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPrecisely because of the splitting of the Boulevard, another important reference point is Daltonka. Like the Lottery, Daltonka has a distinctive glass fa\u00e7ade. Nestled between Bulevar Oslobo\u0111enja, Augusta Cesarca and Laze Kosti\u0107a streets, it is especially noticeable due to its semi-cylindrical shape, which you can&#8217;t miss from a distance. So, if you hear that something is placed or happening near Daltonka, it is a residential and commercial building, approximately halfway down the Boulevard.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crna ku\u0107a<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nCrna ku\u0107a upravo je to \u0161to joj ime ka\u017ee \u2013 ku\u0107a fasade ofarbane u crno.

In fact, this pair, who were killed by stray dogs a few years ago, is the last pair of swans from the park under this name. A pair of swans have been staying on the pond in the most beautiful and most famous park in Novi Sad since the beginning of the 1950s, and while the swans changed, their names remained the same: Isa and Bisa. These swans have become a trademark of Novi Sad for many generations, and after the death of the last couple, it was decided that a new one would not be brought to the park because it was not safe. However, although the pond is no longer adorned with these grandiose birds, the residents of Novi Sad often meet \u2018near Isa and Bisa\u2019, thinking of the part of the Danube Park where they used to live.\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lokomotiva (En.
