About Novi Sad

 

Novi Sad is the capital of The Autonomous Province of Vojvodina and the second largest city in Serbia and Montenegro . It is the industrial, cultural, scientific, educational, and administrative centre of Vojvodina.

Novi Sad 's first written documents date back to 1694. Within the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, in 1748, Novi Sad was granted the status of a free city. Other important historical dates are concerned with the period following 1918, when Vojvodina became a part of Serbia within the Kingdom of Serbs , Croats and Slovenes and 1944 when Novi Sad was liberated from the fascist occupation.

Today Novi Sad has a population of about 300,000 inhabitants and highly developed economic and cultural activities. The first Grammar School was founded in 1810. The first professional theatre – The Serbian National Theatre was founded 1861, and the oldest cultural distribution among the Serbs – the Matica Srpska moved from Budapest to Novi Sad in 1864. What is now known as The Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences – Novi Sad branch was the Academy of Arts and Sciences of Vojvodina founded in 1979.

Novi Sad offers a wide range of interesting sights and is famous for its Petrovaradin fortress and attractive resorts outside the town on the river Danube, in Fruska Gora, the hills near Novi Sad , as well as for its fishing and hunting.
