Subotica

Subotica is located in the north of Serbia, not far from the border with Hungary. Outstanding cultural heritage, richly decorated buildings in the Hungarian Art Nouveau style, multicultural spirit and European charm are the features that make this city different.

The center and symbol of Subotica is the Town Hall, the heart of which is the Great Hall with gorgeous stained glass windows. The same Budapest architects, Konor and Jakab, also designed the Synagogue, one of the most valuable Central European achievements of this type of sacred architecture. It is characterized by bold and modern architectural solutions, stained glass decorations, as well as stylizations taken from Hungarian folklore, such as stylized rose, lily and carnation petals and peacock feathers. In addition to the Town Hall and the Synagogue, the Reichl Palace is one of the symbols of Subotica and a masterpiece in the Hungarian Art Nouveau style. With imagination and luxury, originality and style, the architect Ferenc Reichl decorated his family palace, which today houses the Gallery of Contemporary Art.
