Subotica
Subotica is the second largest city in Vojvodina, near the Hungarian border, celebrated for its extraordinary Art Nouveau architecture — the City Hall of 1912 and the Synagogue of 1902 rank among the finest examples of Hungarian Secession style in the region.
City Hall
City Hall is the centrepiece and symbol of Subotica, designed by architects Komor and Jakab. Built in 1912 in the Hungarian Secession style, it is richly adorned with wrought iron, carved wood, ceramics and Zsolnay tiles. The heart of the building is the Grand Council Chamber, with its magnificent stained-glass windows.
Synagogue
The Synagogue was built in 1902 to the designs of architects Komor and Jakab — an engineering and artistic masterpiece. Zsolnay tiles, terracotta, stained glass and vivid ornamentation make it one of the finest examples of Hungarian Art Nouveau. Concerts are occasionally held here.
The Korzo and Its Palaces
The Korzo is Subotica's main promenade, laid along an old trade route and lined with palaces in a variety of architectural styles. Rajhl Palace (1904) — with its unusual colour palette and playful facade composition — is a remarkable example of Secession architecture, its central motif being a heart.
