EDITORS COMMENTS
Subotica, also known as Szabadka in Hungarian, is a charming city located in northern Serbia, within the multicultural Province of Vojvodina. This early souvenir postcard, dated 1898, offers a glimpse into the rich history and architectural beauty of this fascinating European town. The photograph captures the Catholic Cathedral of St. Theresa of Avila, a prominent landmark of Subotica. The Roman Catholic church, designed by Hungarian architect Kálmán Giergl, was completed in 1787 and is dedicated to the patron saint of Avila, Spain. The cathedral's stunning Baroque-style façade, adorned with intricate details and vibrant colors, stands out against the blue sky. The city of Subotica has a unique cultural heritage, reflecting its diverse population, which includes Hungarian, Serbian, and Austro-Hungarian influences. The Catholic Cathedral of St. Theresa of Avila is a testament to this multicultural history, as it was built during the Habsburg monarchy era. The postcard's caption, written in both Hungarian and Serbian, highlights the city's bilingual identity. The inscription reads "Szabadka-Subotica" in Hungarian and "Subotica" in Serbian, emphasizing the coexistence of these two languages and the city's commitment to preserving its cultural diversity. This early postcard is an invaluable historical document, providing a window into the past and showcasing the architectural and cultural significance of Subotica. It invites us to explore the city's fascinating history and appreciate its unique character, which continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
