It is a complex of two buildings: the larger Banovina is the seat of the Government of Vojvodina, while the smaller Banski dvor is the seat of the Assembly. The complex, designed by Dragiša Brašovan, was built between 1936 and 1940 in a modernist style with Art Deco and stripped classicism elements, as the administrative seat of the Danube Banovina.
