A city I must learn more about. Subatica-Serbia, street views and art deco

First the art deco houses - a bit different from those in Miami







This one is just begging to be restored



Street Views





A monument to a multi-faceted individual with foresight - courage- and knowledge


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Sari%C4%87

And the church with a serious flaw that has been visible forever and has never been solidly fixable


My traveling companion said this is what happens when the midieval custom of burying a live animal in the foundation was not followed. Who am I to argue with that?

Look at the gorgeous inside!

Do you have any idea what years they were built/designed?

I've always been drawn to the color used in so many of the old European buildings. The building in the first shot feels like it has some Turkish influence.

Glad to see you are out and about. Hope you are both feeling better!

and it looks more like Art Nouveau to me than Deco. I'm a fan of both, tho.

BTW, another fascinating city, I think, is Barcelona. That city has more interesting architecture than about 50 other cities put together.
