Banski Dvor
Бански двор
The Vrbas Banovina governor’s palace, completed in 1932 as a grand neoclassical building. It is now a city cultural center.
Banski Dvor was built between 1930 and 1932 as the residence and office of the Ban (governor) of the Vrbas Banovina in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Together with the city hall across the way, which was formerly the provincial government building, it forms the most impressive architectural ensemble in the city center. Today it serves as a cultural center, housing a concert hall, art galleries, and a ceremonial hall, and it regularly hosts concerts and exhibitions. The exterior can be viewed at any time. Access to the interior depends on events, and you can ask at the entrance whether the halls are open for visits.
Opening hours
Exterior open all day; interior open during events
