History of Novi sad Print E-mail
According to historians, anthropologists and archeologists, area of Novi Sad was inhabited 4500 years BC. Many civilizations rode through this area; Celts, Romans, Visantins, Ostroghotes, Avars; some of them stayed for a while and others moved forward. Millenniums and centuries after the first inhabitants came to this area, Novi Sad, its epicenter, the well known Petrovaradin were born.
Thanks to Maria Teresa, Austro-Hungarian queen, Novi Sad, as well as other near by areas of Austro-Hungarian Empire, were developing fast both in cultural and historical way. On February 1, 1748, Novi Sad was proclaimed as “Free Royal City”. Today, 260 years later, Novi Sad can freely be called royal. With its 300,000 citizens, Petrovaradin Fortress, river Danube, Fruška gora and its monasteries, Novi Sad became the most desirable destination for young Europeans. Warmth, hospitality, diversity of languages, cultures, and nationalities, transforms Novi Sad to city cosmopolite!
The misfortune that hit entire Serbia during NATO bombardment in 1999 and caused the destruction of all three bridges in Novi Sad, the symbols of the city, forced Novi Sad to rebuilt its bridges, make them nicer and better.
We are all here together now, at Varadin Bridge and Bridge of Freedom, to create new memories, which will last forever!
