About Liberty Square & the old town
Novi Sad’s main square has always been the place to meet, celebrate and watch the city go by. Two buildings by György Molnár set the scene: the Neo-Renaissance City Hall of 1894 and the neo-Gothic Church of the Name of Mary, whose 73-metre tower makes it the tallest place of worship in town. Step inside for stained glass made in Budapest and an organ dating from 1895. From here, wander Zmaj Jovina and Dunavska streets, an open-air gallery of styles, past the Iron Man Palace of 1909 towards the Orthodox Bishop’s Palace.
